Former president Donald Trump, the 2024 Republican nominee for President of the United States, considered several prominent Republicans and other individuals before selecting Senator JD Vance of Ohio as his running mate on July 15, 2024, the first day of the 2024 Republican National Convention.[1] Vance formally won the vice presidential nomination. The Trump–Vance ticket will face the Harris–Walz ticket in the 2024 presidential election.
Vance is the first Ohioan to appear on a major party presidential ticket since John Bricker, the first person on a major party presidential ticket to have facial hair since Thomas Dewey, and the first veteran since John McCain in 2008.[citation needed] If elected, he would be the first Ohio native to be elected to the vice presidency since Charles Dawes in 1924, the first to have facial hair since Charles Curtis in 1928—both of whom were Republicans—and the first veteran since Al Gore in 1992.[2][3] He was also the first Millennial, U.S. Marine Corps veteran, and veteran of the Iraq War and the wider War on Terror on a presidential ticket.[4][5]
