Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump has chosen former critic JD Vance as his vice-presidential nominee. Vance, a 39-year-old Ohio Senator and author, was confirmed as VP pick by RNC delegates.
Despite past criticisms of Trump, Vance has become a strong supporter. After winning his Senate seat with Trump's endorsement in 2022, Vance is now attacking Joe Biden, calling him an "incapacitated president" and accusing Democrats of lying about Biden's health.

Nearly a decade ago, Donald Trump famously stated, "What separates the winners from the losers is how a person reacts to each new twist of fate." On Saturday, the former president narrowly escaped a potential tragedy, underlining the uncanny relevance of his words. As the nation awaits the verdict on who will emerge victorious in November, Trump's recent brush with death might already position him as a winner in the eyes of many.
