Vivek Ramaswamy expressed his congratulations to JD Vance after Donald Trump selected him as his running mate on July 15. Initially a critic, Vance later became a staunch ally. Ramaswamy reminisced about their time together as law school classmates and friends from southwest Ohio, highlighting their shared experiences watching Bengals games. He praised Vance’s selection as Vice President, emphasizing their journey from law school to this pivotal political moment.
Ramaswamy also noted Usha Vance’s role as a family friend and former law school classmate. Highlighting their interconnected lives, an X post pointed out the intriguing “Vance-Ramaswamy web.”
Trump formally announced Vance as his VP pick during the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, following extensive deliberation. Vance’s nomination, supported by Trump’s endorsement, marks a significant step in his political career since gaining prominence with his memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy,” in 2016. Despite initial reservations about Trump in 2016, Vance aligned closely with the Make America Great Again agenda, particularly on issues of foreign policy, trade, and immigration, solidifying his position as a key ally within the Republican Party.
