J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, to join him on the ballot this fall, solidifying a strong conservative ticket to challenge the most radical presidential administration to date.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter 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,\u201d Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/112792061935980928\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wrote<\/a> on Truth Social. The announcement came less than 48 hours after a failed assassination attempt on Trump \u2014 which, paired with the alarming decline of the 81-year-old incumbent, underscores the importance of vice-presidential picks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Trump has made a great choice and Senator Vance will be a great partner as they campaign together this fall,\u201d Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said in a statement.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p><span><\/p>\n<blockquote data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">My statement on the choice of Ohio Senator J.D.

Jim Renacci. But in this year\u2019s Republican Senate contest, DeWine backed the candidate who was the polar opposite of the Middletown native in the form of state Sen. Matt Dolan, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-drunk-driving-california-democrat-caught-lying-to-cop-about-how-much-he-drank\/\" title=\"VIDEO: California Democrat Lies to Cop About Drunk Driving\">establishment favorite<\/a> whom <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/california-supreme-court-ends-cash-bail-for-some-who-cannot-pay\/\" title=\"California Supreme Court Ends Cash Bail For Some Who Cannot Pay\">voters rejected<\/a> twice for the U.S. Senate nomination.<\/p>\n<p>There are many directions things could go depending on the outcome in November, none of which will materialize if a Trump-Vance ticket loses, keeping Vance in the upper chamber.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans in Ohio are currently trying to beat three-term Democrat incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/state-of-race-six-key-senate-seats-republicans-look-flip-2024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">top target<\/a> this fall, with businessman Bernie Moreno, who was nominated in March. Just as Vance defeated a crowded slate of candidates in the Republican primary with Trump\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/2022-midterm-elections-steve-bannon-josh-mandel-congress-ohio-06e64ac7ba0f8d84b608fb82f4e632eb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">endorsement<\/a> in 2022, Moreno similarly emerged triumphant in a competitive race with Trump\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/bernie-moreno-ohio-trump-senate-gop-2024-51c027f4018f7a9810c652855de91e55\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">support<\/a> four months ago.

In other words, DeWine\u2019s pick for senator was rejected not once but twice by Ohio Republicans who\u2019ve made their preference clear.<\/p>\n<p>In the event that Trump and Vance win, the Ohio governor must choose a Senate replacement who fits the mold of the candidate state Republicans nominated in 2022 and 2024. If Trump wins and Moreno loses, the governor would be wise to appoint Moreno to finish the remainder of Vance\u2019s term. Arizona Republican Gov. Doug Ducey made a similar move in 2018 when he selected Martha McSally to finish the final two years of John McCain\u2019s term after she lost the general election to replace Jeff Flake.<\/p>\n<p>If Moreno wins along with a Republican sweep of the presidency in November, DeWine has a star-studded panel of contenders who could feasibly replace Vance without betraying the confidence of Republican voters. Rep. Jim Jordan, who has led as chairman of the Judiciary Committee this Congress, remains one of the House\u2019s most influential opponents of additional aid to Ukraine. The lawmaker from Ohio has become one of the most popular voices on the right by backing Trump\u2019s agenda while unraveling some of the worst abuses of the administrative state with the establishment of the <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/weaponization-committee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Another candidate who could conceivably replace Vance is Columbus-area biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who confirmed following the vice-presidential announcement that he would consider the Senate job if offered. Ramaswamy is also widely considered a top contender for a position in Trump\u2019s potential second-term cabinet.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p><span><\/p>\n<blockquote data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Vivek tells <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/meridithmcgraw?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@meridithmcgraw<\/a> that he would consider serving as a replacement Senator if JD Vance is picked as VP and Trump wins and Gov.
