Read "Hillbilly Elegy." Can't vouch for his day-to-day politics, but the man has a sold grasp on poverty and the gutting out of the middle class as he crawled out of it -- literally.

The tweeter was responding to someone who asked whether J.D. is a Christian. I kind of don't think he is (though I really don't know) but while that certainly is important to his soul, it's not the first thing I would demand of a VP, even though I'm an evangelical Christian. I agree with the poster's comment about the first 20 years of his life, though. The book is heart-rending.

Congratulations to my friend and our next Vice President JD Vance! I know JD personally and can attest to his faith, character, courage, and principles. President Trump and Vice President Vance will fight EVERY DAY for the forgotten men and women of our country.

J.D. is a Catholic and will be the 2nd Catholic VP in history.
