Author and U.S. Senate candidate J.D. Vance on Tuesday disputed criticism that he flip-flopped on his support for Donald Trump, saying he didn t take the former president seriously at first but always believed in his agenda. I just didn’t think this guy would actually deliver on it, and he proved me wrong, Vance said in an interview with the USA TODAY Network Ohio Bureau.
Vance entered the crowded Senate race to replace Ohio Sen. Rob Portman last week, joining a slew of Republicans and Democratic U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan in a fight for the seat. The venture capitalist is best known for his memoir Hillbilly Elegy, which depicts his family s struggles in Appalachian Kentucky and his mother s addiction during his childhood in Middletown.

The venture capitalist and author of “Hillbilly Elegy” officially joined the crowded Republican race for the Ohio U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Rob Portman.
JD Vance, whose book was widely seen in 2016 as helping explain Republican Donald Trump’s appeal to struggling white, working-class voters, made the announcement Thursday night at the steel fabricator Middletown Tube Works in his Ohio hometown.
“We have to send people to Washington who are willing to shake the system up, to fight, to fight smart and to make our country a little bit better,” Vance said.
