 Second, J.D. is a Marine vet. Hoorah! He'll be the first U.S. Marine vet to ever serve as Vice President of the United States. Interesting fun fact, no Marine has ever been Vice President or President of the United States. So he'll be the first Marine as VP and the first Marine a heartbeat away from the presidency. Trump already has 80% of military vets. Now he'll move up to 90% of military vets voting for Trump. Third, J.D. is a poor kid from the Midwest, working class roots.
