[VIDEO] Time to re-activate the Shedd School of Pol. Sci.
The GOP Nat'l Convention is this week in Milwaukee, WI and we got the excitement of former President Trump - oh and remember he had just narrowly survived an assassination attempt on Saturday - making his pick for a VP running mate. His pick is freshman Republican US Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio who has been in his seat since 2023.
I know he made the rounds on FOX News and remember him making a number of appearances on the program of one Tucker Carlson before he had been released from that network. There are some dredging up his "anti-Trump" rhetoric from the past. However, he has often been painted as a "populist" sort of like Trump himself. Especially the 2016 campaign was viewed as a populist campaign.
Some other interesting facts about Vance. He's currently only 39 years old born in 1984. He also currently sports a beard. The last president to have any facial hair - beard or mustache at least - was William Howard Taft. Although I can't say the last V.P. to have any facial hair, have to do some research on this.
Thus as you see Mr. Beat above in a live stream point this out, he's the first "millennial" V.P. candidate. And time will tell how the public will further view Sen. Vance once he hits the campaign trail.
So far what is your take on the 2024 race?
