Who is JD Vance? Not all Trump supporters know.

MILWAKEE, WI – Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) is getting to introduce himself in a new light on Wednesday night as former President Donald Trump‘s Republican Vice Presidential pick. His primetime speech at the Republican National Convention is his chance to appeal to a whole new group of American voters.

The Washington Examiner spoke to Trump supporters and asked them what they thought of Trump’s VP pick. Some had no idea who he was.

“I know nothing about him. That night when they announced him, I didn’t know zero about this man,” one South Carolina delegate told the Washington Examiner.

He was not alone. Madeline Brame, who also gave her own emotional RNC speech, had only heard J.D. Vance’s name before his nomination but believes the Republican Senator is a good pick from what she has learned.

“I like his age. I like that he is young, savvy, creative, and intelligent,” Brame said. “You know, I think that he makes a good match.”

Others who still do not know much about Vance said they trust Trump to make the best decision for the country.

“Trump has access to information I don’t have,” said Blake Mandell, a delegate from California. “I trusted him to make the right choice for the country. If he selects J.D. Vance, I’m 100% behind him.”

“Trump knows who the deep state are,” Tony Agbay, Pennsylvania delegate, said. “I think he won’t make the same mistakes the second time around. And I think he’s really done the vetting, and I think he’s chosen a real true patriot.”

Brame wanted to remind people to do the research on candidates vying for your vote, no matter how far down the ballot.

“Find out who these people are,” Brame said. “It’s not just the presidency, the vice president. I’m talking about all the elections, especially the local elections. Those are the most important elections to our community. Research these candidates.”
