 J.D. Vance is 39 years of age. He rose to national fame with a publication of a memoir called Hillbilly Elegy. He was elected to the Senate in 2022 and has become one of the staunchest champions of Donald Trump's Make America Great Again agenda. He has a fair amount of business experience behind him, even though he is under 40 years of age. Fairly untested on the national scene.
