Former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for leader of the U.S., announced he chose crypto-friendly Sen. J.D. Vance as his vice presidential candidate.
“After lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator J.D. Vance of the Great State of Ohio,” Trump wrote on social media app TruthSocial. “J.D. has had a very successful business career in Technology and Finance, and now, during the Campaign, will be strongly focused on the people he fought so brilliantly for, the American Workers and Farmers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota, and far beyond.”The"Hillbilly Elegy" author and venture capitalist was a favorable choice among leaders in the crypto space given its previous efforts to bring clearer legislation.
