If former President Trump selects Republican Ohio Sen. JD Vance as his running mate, Ohio Gov. DeWine would choose Vance's Senate replacement.
Should Sen. JD Vance get the nod from former President Trump to be his 2024 running mate and the ticket wins the White House in November, the Ohio Republican's Senate seat will be in the hands of a decidedly non-MAGA GOP governor. Trump is expected to make an announcement on his selection by mid-July, and Vance is widely believed to be on his short list. If Vance trades in his Senate seat for the vice presidency, Gov. Mike DeWine, a fellow Republican, will choose who gets to finish his term.
We have an outstanding person running, Mike DeWine, who quietly, but professionally, goes about doing his job and really well,' Trump said at the time. Under the scenario of a Trump-Vance ticket winning the general election, DeWine has a bevy of Republican options, including both establishment Republicans and a handful of Trump-backed GOPers, such as Rep. Mike Carey, Ohio-based outlet The Plain Dealer reported last week.
Look, I was wrong about Donald Trump,' Vance said. 'I didn’t think he was gonna be a good president, Bret. He was a great president. And it’s one of the reasons why I’m working so hard to make sure he gets a second term.' Trump campaign senior adviser Jason Miller also brushed off Vance's previous comments, pointing Fox News Digital to Harris' comments regarding President Biden before she was chosen as his running mate.
Trump has remained coy to the media regarding his running mate choice, but did say this month that he’s made his decision – adding that no one is yet privy to the choice. He added that the eventual running mate would be present during the 2024 presidential debate last Thursday. Vance, alongside other potential veep candidates, was among those present for the debate.
