“It’s very clear that Trump wants someone who can carry the movement on,” a person close to Trump told CNN said of the Vance selection.
The two became close friends, a relationship that helped Vance earn Trump’s endorsement in a contested primary for an open Ohio Senate seat.
As a senator, Vance quickly won over the thought leaders of Trump’s populist movement.
Vance and Trump Jr. embraced on the convention stage Tuesday afternoon as they prepared for their moments in the spotlight.
Challenges certainly remain for Vance to maintain his position as next in line to the throne in Trump’s party.
