Trump’s VP choice was a never-Trumper, Catholic, married to a Hindu
An Ohio Republican senator known for once likening Donald Trump to “America’s Hitler” has been selected as Trump’s vice presidential running mate.
Yale-educated lawyer and Iraq War veteran J.D. Vance shifted from Trump critic to ally after he won his Senate seat with Trump’s endorsement two years ago.
Vance is married to Usha Vance, who is an Indian-American Hindu and the daughter of Indian immigrants.
Observers say Vance’s candidacy marks a controversial choice given his past criticisms of Trump’s policies targeting immigrants and Muslims.
Vice President Kamala Harris has reached out to Vance to congratulate him on his nomination, expressing interest in a vice presidential debate.
Analysts say Vance’s nomination highlights the nominee’s alignment with Trump’s policies, despite his earlier condemnations of them.
