James David Vance (born James Donald Bowman; August 2, 1984) is an American politician, author, and United States Marine veteran serving as the junior United States senator from Ohio since 2023. A member of the Republican Party, he is the party's nominee for vice president in the 2024 election.[1][2][3][4]

After graduating high school in his hometown of Middletown, Ohio, Vance served from 2003 to 2007 as a combat correspondent, with six months in Iraq.[5] He then attended Ohio State University, graduating in 2009. He graduated from Yale Law School in 2013.[6] His 2016 memoir Hillbilly Elegy became a New York Times bestseller, and was made into a feature film in 2020. It describes his upbringing in the Rust Belt, poverty, drug addiction, and Appalachian culture. It attracted significant press attention during the 2016 United States presidential election.[7] Vance defeated Democratic nominee Tim Ryan in the 2022 United States Senate election in Ohio. Initially opposed to Trump's candidacy in the 2016 election, Vance has since become a strong supporter of Donald Trump. On July 15, 2024, two days following the July 13th assassination attempt, Trump officially nominated Vance as his running mate at the Republican National Convention, the first Marine veteran to receive a Vice President nomination.[4][8]

During his time in the Senate, Vance has been described as a neoreactionary,[9] national conservative,[10] and a right-wing populist.[10] He has cited Curtis Yarvin, Rod Dreher, and Patrick Deneen as primary influences on his political and religious views.[11] On social issues, he has promoted strongly conservative policies,[12] opposing abortion,[13] same-sex marriage,[12] and favoring bans on pornography[12] and transgender healthcare for minors.[14] Vance differs from mainstream Republican economic orthodoxy, including on taxes, minimum wage, unionization, tariffs, and antitrust policy, and opposes American military aid to Ukraine.[15][16][17][18]
