 Vance was elected to the Senate in 2022, and he represents a key swing state in the 2024 race. He wrote the bestseller Hillbilly Elegy, a memoir of his experiences growing up in poverty. President Biden has reacted to Trump's pick of Vance. In a post on X, Biden said Vance talks a big game about working people, and then he went on to claim Trump and Vance want to raise taxes on middle-class families while pushing more tax cuts for the rich.
