JD Vance says he’ll ‘never forget’ moment when Trump asked him to be VP

Published July 16, 2024 12:01pm ET



Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) was with his 7-year-old son when former President Donald Trump asked him to be his vice president, a moment he said he will “never forget.”

Vance detailed how his son was “making noise” in the background when Trump called him, and he said he was initially “embarrassed.” The Ohio senator also noted he was not sure if the call was confirmation that he was Trump’s pick for vice president, as Trump could have been calling him to tell him he would not get the job.
