Triumphant Don Jr. admits he 'found out with the world' when father chose Vance for VP

MILWAUKEE — The morning after his monthslong crusade to champion Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) to become Donald Trump’s running mate proved triumphant, Donald Trump Jr. appeared with Axios’s Mike Allen to take a victory lap, but even the former first son admitted his father kept him in the dark until the end.

“I felt it for a while,” Donald Trump Jr. said of his sense that the former president would choose the Ohio senator as his running mate. “I knew for sure when I saw the ‘Truth’ go out. I found out with the rest of the world on social media.”
