On the inaugural day of the Republican National Convention held in Milwaukee, the Republican Party made a significant announcement by selecting Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio as the party's candidate for vice president. This choice positions Vance alongside former President Donald Trump on the Republican ticket for the 2024 presidential election.

J.D. Vance was accompanied by his wife, Usha Chilukuri Vance, on the RNC floor as U.S. Senate candidate Bernie Moreno officially nominated him for the role. The nomination process adhered to the provisions of rule 40b, confirming Vance's support from a plurality of delegates across five or more states.

The convention's chair highlighted the procedural compliance, stating that with only one candidate meeting the necessary support requirements, a motion to nominate by acclamation was in order. This streamlined the process, eliminating the need for a roll call vote.

John Hustad, the Lieutenant Governor of Ohio, delivered a compelling speech to formally nominate Vance. "Ohio is the heart of it all, and that is certainly the case once again here today," Hustad declared. He emphasized the vice presidency as an office of sacred trust, requiring a candidate who embodies a deep commitment to the American family, worker, and soldier.

Hustad's remarks underscored the vital responsibilities of the vice president, including providing wise counsel to the president, representing America abroad, presiding over the Senate, and being prepared to lead the nation at a moment's notice. His endorsement of Vance was met with enthusiastic applause from the delegates.
