The betrayal of Pence in 2020… Prioritizing loyalty to the ‘faithful soldier’
Reflecting confidence in the ‘Trump doctrine’ after the shooting incident
In the past, Vance criticized Trump as ‘America’s Hitler’
Later, a complete reversal in attitude… Becoming a representative figure of ‘pro-Trump’,

,
, “Is it a manifestation of confidence? On the 15th local time, U.S. Republican presidential candidate, former president Donald Trump, named Senator JD Vance (40), nicknamed the ‘Trump avatar,’ as his running mate (vice presidential candidate). It is interpreted as a stance that emphasizes ‘pro-Trump’ solidarity rather than expanding the support base.”,
,
, “Born in 1984, Vance is from Ohio in the Midwest, known as the ‘Rust Belt’ (struggling industrial area). He endured a difficult childhood of abuse by a drug-addicted mother and poverty, overcame a high school dropout crisis, and later enlisted in the Marines and was deployed to Iraq. He graduated from Yale Law School in 2013 and became a prominent figure in Silicon Valley as a venture capitalist. He gained worldwide fame with his autobiography ‘Hillbilly Elegy,’ documenting his life.”,

The memory of Pence’s betrayal… ‘Loyalty’ takes precedence

,
, ‘Politically, the ‘Vance card’ is not safe. All of the Senators elected in November 2022 have a political background. He lacks the financial power of rivals such as millionaire businessman and governor of North Dakota Doug Burgum. He is also behind in garnering support from Hispanic groups and Cuban American Senator Marco Rubio, who has 25 years of political experience. The Wall Street Journal pointed out that “Vance is not from a swing state and does not expand the ‘MAGA (Make America Great Again)’ alliance, the fervent supporters of Trump.”‘,
,
, ‘The reason for his selection was ‘loyalty.’ Predictions that Trump would choose a ‘loyalist’ as his vice presidential candidate came true. He cherishes the memory of Vice President Mike Pence raising objections when he attempted to overturn the 2020 election results, preserving it as a ‘trauma of betrayal.’ In contrast, Vance has said, “If I were Trump’s vice president, I would have refused to certify the Electoral College votes of the states where Biden won” regarding the January 6 insurrection.’,
,
, ‘It wasn’t always like this. During the 2016 presidential election, Vance criticized then-candidate Trump as “America’s Hitler” and a “cultural narcotic.” However, in the 2020 election, he praised Trump as the “greatest president in his lifetime,” completely changing his stance. In 2021, he even issued a direct apology. It is known that he changed his view to consider himself the ‘only politician who understands the anger of white workers.’,
,
, “Now he is at the core of the ‘strong pro-Trump’ faction. In various fields such as opposition to aid to Ukraine, △opposition to abortion △strong immigration policies, he holds the same positions as former President Trump.”,

“Who are the running mates”… Trump’s confidence in manifestation?

,
, “Furthermore, the ‘Trump dominance theory’ solidified by the shooting incident on the 13th also added impetus to Vance’s nomination trend. Typically, U.S. presidential candidates choose running mates who complement their weaknesses in various aspects such as race, age, gender, and political orientation to broaden their support base. An example is President Biden, an ‘elderly white male,’ being paired with Vice President Kamala Harris, a ‘young black woman.'”,
,
, ‘Surviving miraculously from the shooting, former President Trump seems to believe that having a more “Trump-like” partner will be sufficient for success. The New York Times commented that “Trump chose a figure who will enhance the ‘MAGA’ spirit twice as much as a centrist” and evaluated it as “the choice of a person convinced of victory.” The Wall Street Journal pointed out that “there is no need for a running mate to win over the swing vote, indicating confidence in the presidential election.”‘,
