Trump nominates JD Vance – rising star as vice-candidate

Donald Trump, a prominent Republican, has surprisingly nominated political newcomer JD Vance as his vice presidential candidate. Vance, who has only been in the Senate since 2023, is already considered a close ally of the former US president. At 39 years old, he is seen as a rising star in the Republican Party. This appointment was officially announced at the party convention in Milwaukee, where Trump was also confirmed as a candidate for the presidential election. The move was seen as a formality after Trump won the party's primary elections.

The success of a political newcomer

Vance has long been considered for the vice presidential position, although his name was not the only one being discussed. The former Trump critic has developed into a right-wing hardliner and does not shy away from controversial decisions. His clear stance and direct manner have earned him both approval and criticism.

The road to the party conference

Senator Vance attended the party convention in Milwaukee with his wife Usha Chilukuri Vance. The couple was enthusiastically received and celebrated by the delegates. Vance, who has already enjoyed success with his bestseller "Hillbilly Elegy," will play an important role in Donald Trump's election campaign. His clear views and young age make him an interesting choice for the vice presidency.

A new era in the Republican Party

The party convention in Milwaukee is a choreographed spectacle that is intended to underline the unity and strength of the Republicans. In addition to the official nomination of Trump as presidential candidate, the program also includes speeches by high-ranking party members and the adoption of the party platform. However, the meeting is overshadowed by the assassination attempt on Trump, which has further tightened security measures.

The decision to appoint Vance as Vice-candidate shows the Republicans' willingness to usher in a new era and bring fresh faces into top political positions. Trump's speech at the party convention is expected on Friday night in Germany and is eagerly awaited. Vance's nomination could also influence the dynamics of the presidential election in November, as he could appeal to a new group of voters.
