Former President Donald Trump has endorsed best-selling author J.D. Vance, a vocal national populist, in the Ohio Republican Senate primary race.

This is not an easy endorsement for me to make because I like and respect some of the other candidates in the race — they’ve said great things about “Trump” and, like me, they love Ohio and love our Country. I’ve studied this race closely and I think J.D. is the most likely to take out the weak, but dangerous, Democrat opponent — dangerous because they will have so much money to spend. [Emphasis added]
However, J.D. will destroy him in the debates and will fight for the MAGA Movement in the Senate. He’s strong on the Border, tough on Crime, understands how to use Taxes and Tariffs to hold China accountable, will fight to break up Big Tech, and has been a warrior on the Rigged and Stolen Presidential Election. J.D. is a Marine who served in the Iraq War, a graduate of The Ohio State University, and earned a Law Degree from Yale — a great student. With J.D. Vance, Ohio gets both brains and brawn. Ohio has been good to me, I won it twice, really BIG, and I have likewise been GREAT for Ohio. Let’s keep it going! [Emphasis added]
Trump voters must “unite behind J.D.’s campaign because, unlike so many other pretenders and wannabes, he will put America First,” Trump wrote.

He comes off as one of those people that always consider themselves to be the smartest person in the room. That can be apt to lead to doing what he thinks is best for the people rather than what the people want. I think he feels that he’s risen ABOVE the Appalachian hillbilly background that he never actually experienced but along with being poor, felt qualified to write a book about. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillbilly_Elegy#Summary
Yeah, a Yale educated lawyer who grew up in a sizeable city knows all about the Appalachians and being poor.

I haven’t commented previously, but I’m getting tired of watching the neocons in #OHSen running dishonest ads calling @JDVance1 a never-Trumper. It’s BS.
A lot of conservatives were skeptical of DJT in 2016 & got won over when they saw him in action.
JD is 100% America First.
-Donald Trump Jr.
I’ve read seemingly hundreds of posts trashing Vance on this website. So now that Trump has endorsed him will that end?
Sorry you didn’t get to me my dad.
Totally agree. Just wish I could vote for people like them - stuck in Calif.
Meet
AMEN!
Well, I lived in the same town as Vance in the 70’s, and you can take it from me, Middletown OH was definitely full of backwoods idiots. Most of them were not nice enough to respect, and didn’t possess any other talents.
Not that the upper crust in that town was any better.
None of them ever had anything good to say about anyone from outside their group. I left in 1981 and never came back except to visit my parents.
Don’t even get me started about basketball.
45: It is time for the entire MAGA movement, the greatest in the history of our Country, to unite behind J.D.’s campaign … he will put America First. In other words, J.D. Vance has my Complete and Total Endorsement. He will not let you down. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! pic.twitter.com/zGFuAbLxnx— Taylor Budowich (@TayFromCA) April 15, 2022
I'm incredibly honored to have President Trump's support. He was an incredible fighter for hard working Americans in the White House, he will be again, and I'll fight for the America First Agenda in the Senate. https://t.co/s3d3JhTgBC— J.D. Vance (@JDVance1) April 15, 2022
Nothing would make me happier than @JDVance1 repping my home state of Ohio in the Senate except JD being cloned and JDVance2 running against and crushing Sherrod "Buckeye Bernie" Brown. pic.twitter.com/ysbxeUo58i— Kurt Schlichter (@KurtSchlichter) April 14, 2022
I’ve gotten to know @JDVance1 personally over the past year & I'm convinced that he's 100% America First.
The leftwing media, the Dems & the weak RINOs all HATE him because they know he stands with #MAGA.
He's the real deal folks, that's why my dad & I are both supporting him! https://t.co/mh1baSgFrU— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) April 15, 2022
He hasn’t endorsed yet
Actually he has:
It was reported here about an hour ago.

I’ve seen some pro and anti thoughts on Vance.
I do not know anything about him, but Trump’s comments
seemed to cover a number of bases.
It will take time for the dust to settle.
I support Trump, so I’ll probably wind up supporting
Vance too, if it doesn’t get too ugly. (his record)
Of the Ohio candidates I’ve seen, Vance is the one I like best.
I don’t live in Ohio. Don’t vote in Ohio.
Ohio voters will sort it out.
Well, I lived in the same city as Vance in the 70’s, and you can take it from me, Middletown OH was definitely full of backwoods idiots. Most of them were not nice enough to respect, and didn’t possess any other talents.
Not that the upper crust in that town was any better.
None of them ever had anything good to say about anyone from outside their group. It was definitely a SMALL TOWN even with a popultion of 50,000 at the time. I left in 1981 and never came back except to visit my parents.
Don’t even get me started about high school basketball in that weird town.
But at least back then, there were plenty of factories in Middletown that provided decently-paid work to the hillbillies, briars, and rednecks. Those factories probably closed before JD was ever born.
Disclaimer: I never read the book or saw the movie. But the commercials for the movie made me cringe.
You are not alone I am in the land of fruits and nuts too!! NOW we have all mail in voting we will be under one party rule forever just like OR. WA. and CO. all one party Dem rule ALL have mail in voting!!
I was born in Ohio. JD knows and cares about Ohio. I’m in PA now and I won’t vote for OZ, he’s a true carpetbagger.
Senators , unlike McCain ,need to care about their state first.
GOOD!! ME TOO!!
JD is NOT Dr. OZ!! Oz is a HUGE FAKE REPUBLICAN!! With a DUAL CITIZENSHIP!!! Trump made a BIG mistake in this one.
