If Donald Trump wants to pick the man most in touch with this American moment, then it has to be J.D. Vance.
Donald Trump has locked up the necessary delegates for the Republican presidential nomination, which means it's time for every political junkie's favorite quadrennial game: Veepstakes!Every four years, commentators, political consultants, and elected officials all chime in with their takes on who a presidential candidate's running mate should be. Perhaps the candidate ought to select a veep from a swing state.
Next, consider geography and the political map. Vance is from Ohio, an increasingly red state. But Vance's fellow Buckeye State senator, the highly vulnerable Democrat Sherrod Brown, is on the ballot this November. Putting Vance on the ticket would assuredly boost Ohio Republican turnout in general, thereby helping propel Bernie Moreno, Brown's opponent, in a race that could be crucial for flipping the Senate to Republican control.
