Vance of Ohio will be former President Donald Trump\u2019s running mate in the 2024 election.<\/p>\n<p>The senator, as you might imagine, is pumped. But even more pumped might be his 7-year-old son \u2014 especially after the boy got to talk to the president when the official call was made.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/potential-vp-picks-get-rough-news-trump-campaign-jd-vance-gets-vp-nod\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vance<\/a>, once a Trump critic, had become the odds-on favorite in recent days to grab the spot, so it was little surprise. He has become a vocal supporter of the former president and his policies in the upper chamber, and his position in the Midwest solidifies the Republican nominee\u2019s base in the Rust Belt states.<\/p>\n<p>The senator\u2019s lack of experience was considered a liability; a venture capitalist who authored the best-seller \u201cHillbilly Elegy,\u201d Vance threw his hat into the ring for the GOP nomination in Ohio in 2022 but was considered to be lagging behind other better-known candidates until the closing weeks of the race.<\/p>\n<p>A physical confrontation on stage during a debate between the two prohibitive favorites, former state <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-ohio-gop-senate-candidates-get-heated-tense-debate-standoff\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Treasurer Josh Mandel and investment banker Mike Gibbons<\/a>, threw the race into chaos; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/report-trump-planning-game-changing-endorsement-red-hot-ohio-republican-primary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trump\u2019s endorsement<\/a> elevated Vance to a primary win and a <a href=\"https:\/\/ballotpedia.org\/United_States_Senate_election_in_Ohio,_2022\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">6-point victory<\/a> over Democratic opponent Rep. Tim Ryan.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, Vance has been mentioned as possible veep material, particularly given his young age compared with the two presidential candidates (Vance is 39, while Trump is 78 and President Joe Biden is 81) and his visibility in the Republican senatorial caucus.<\/p>\n<p>However, in an interview with Fox News\u2019 Sean Hannity at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Monday after he was announced as Trump\u2019s running mate, the senator said the former had a conversation with someone even younger than him when the decision came down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will say, Sean \u2014 I hope I\u2019m not betraying too many confidences here,\u201d Vance began.\u00a0\u201cBut when the president called me today and actually formally offered me to become, you know, the vice presidential nominee, which just sounds crazy, my son, my 7-year-old son, was sort of making noise in the background.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd, you know, I get so embarrassed, it\u2019s like, \u2018Oh my God, Donald Trump is asking me to be his vice president \u2013\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-hannity-goes-off-espns-pat-mcafee-caitlin-clark-backlash-horrible-host\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hannity<\/a> then interrupted to say, \u201cSo he calls you and you\u2019re like, \u2018OK, this is the call?\u2019 Or maybe not the call?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOr maybe it\u2019s a bad call,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-responds-vance-vp-pick-hyper-dangerous-threat-democracy-message\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vance<\/a> answered. \u201cIt\u2019s\u00a0<em>the<\/em> call. Who knows whether it\u2019s good or bad?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut then he actually has me put my 7-year-old son on the phone,\u201d the senator said, looking amazed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou think about this,\u201d he said. \u201cEverything that happened \u2014 the guy just got shot at a couple of days ago, and he takes the time to talk to my 7-year-old.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a moment I\u2019ll never forget.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Sj7Ma2zRetY?si=p7v1kT-4NFMq3j3v&#038;start=40\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And he did it without sniffing the kid\u2019s hair!

And, from all indications, he\u2019s probably right.<\/p>\n<p>Jokes aside, it\u2019s a special moment \u2014 both for Vance, whose path to the top has been both hard-fought and quick, and his son.<\/p>\n<p>Who knows?
