Trump chooses Orbán-fan Ohio senator as running mate
Change language:
After an assassination attempt in a Pennsylvania rally, former President and Republican nominee Donald Trump nominated J. D. Vance, an Ohio senator, to be his running mate and, if elected, serve as the VP of the USA. Mr Vance was a strong supporter of Orbán’s policies before. For example, he praised the scheme of foundation-run universities in an interview.
The next vice president of Trump is an Orbán fan
Vance is from Ohio, and, according to the BBC, Trump would like to garner all support he can from the Midwest battleground states with his nomination. “With his [blue-collar] background, Vance could be well positioned to connect with and energise the kind of white, working class voters who narrowly delivered those states to Trump in 2016”, the news outlet wrote.
Vance was not a supporter of Trump before but became a reliable ally after the 2016 victory. “They have similar views on trade, immigration and foreign policy. Mr Vance has been particularly critical of continued US support for Ukraine”, BBC wrote about him.
Vance praised Orbán in a May interview with CBS. Talking about the creation of foundation-run universities where Orbán nominated his allies to govern the Hungarian universities, Vance said it was reasonable that the taxpayers would like to influence the operation of universities using their money. “Orbán made some clever decisions we could learn from in the USA”, he added. He highlighted that American universities are run by leftist foundations instead of the taxpayers.
Vance is 39 years old, so his appearance in the White House may bring a new generation of Republicans into the US leadership.
