WATCH: Who is JD Vance?

From the creator

Former President Donald Trump has chosen Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance to join him on the Republican ticket as his running mate. Vance, who rose to fame in 2016 with his memoir, "Hillbilly Elegy," is a former Trump critic. But in the past few years, Vance has become a fierce loyalist and defender of the former president. He was elected to the Senate in 2022. PBS News' Lisa Desjardins reports on Vance's history and his selection as vice president.
