Senator J.D. Vance has been speculated as a potential running mate for former President Donald Trump in the upcoming election. While Vance has publicly stated that he is not lobbying for the position and has not discussed it with Trump, his actions and comments have fueled speculation. Vance has praised Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's policies on education and civil society, and he has dismissed accusations that Trump disrespects veterans, despite reports that Trump called American service members 'suckers' and 'losers.' Trump has denied making these comments. Additionally, Vance has expressed support for national service, emphasizing its importance outside of wartime. Ben Carson is also considered a potential VP choice, with concerns about the Senate replacement if Vance is chosen.
