Donald Trump named Sen. JD Vance of Ohio as his vice presidential pick on Monday. Here's what that means for the senator's seat.
The Senate is narrowly divided and Democrats hold a slim majority. But there’s no need for Ohio Sen. JD Vance, whom former President Donald Trump selected as his running mate Monday, to leave the chamber during the campaign.It makes sense to look to a senator as vice president : The role’s main official duty is to serve as president of the U.S. Senate , although recent vice president s don’t tend to spend too much time on Capitol Hill.
Vance? What to know about Donald Trump's VP pickSo what does that mean for the seat? Usually, when a senator is elected as either president or vice president, they will resign from their Senate seat in early January after the election. Biden, however, is an outlier in this. He kept his Senate seat longer than most in early 2009, perhaps so that he could edge past some other former senators in the all-time Senate tenure list. Biden sits at No. 19.
