Former President Donald Trump, the likely Republican candidate for the 2024 U.S. presidential race, has selected Sen. J.D. Vance, a supporter of cryptocurrency, as his running mate.
Trump announced his decision on TruthSocial, highlighting Vance’s successful background in technology and finance, and his dedication to American workers and farmers across key states.
Vance’s chances of being picked as vice president surged to 70% on the crypto prediction market platform Polymarket, making him the clear favorite among potential candidates.
Known for his work on crypto legislation, Vance has recently proposed a bill to improve U.S. regulations on digital assets, aiming to be more crypto-friendly than the legislation passed by the House in June.
