The Messed Up Reality Of JD Vance
In mid-July 2024, not long after the assassination attempt against him, former president Donald Trump announced Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his running mate in the 2024 presidential election,. Two days later, at the Republican National Convention, Vance accepted the nomination, becoming the GOP's vice presidential pick. But before entering politics, the Ohio native published his best-selling 2016 memoir "Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis." The book explores the life for poor white comunities where poverty is the "family tradition" and reveals his family's experiences with this reality. It was made into a Ron Howard-directed feature film that released in 2020 and dives into Vance's childhood in all of its harrowing detail.
