Donald Trump picks JD Vance of Ohio, a once-fierce critic turned loyal ally, as his GOP running mate

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

70% : "After lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator J.D. Vance of the Great State of Ohio," Trump said in a post on his Truth Social network.
53% : "But the pick also means that two white men will now lead the Republican ticket at a time when Trump has sought to make inroads with Black and Latino voters.
45% : He told ABC News in February that, if he had been Vice President on Jan. 6, 2021, he would have told states where Trump disputed Biden wins "that we needed to have multiple slates of electors, and I think the U.S. Congress should have fought over it from there.""That is the legitimate way to deal with an election that a lot of folks, including me, think had a lot of problems in 2020," he said.
31% : The relationship between Vance and Trump has been symbiotic.
26% : An attempted assassination of Trump at a rally Saturday has shaken the campaign, bringing new attention to the nation's coarse political rhetoric and reinforcing the importance of those who are one heartbeat away from the presidency.
