On the first day of the Republican National Convention, former president Donald Trump announced that Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance will be his running mate in the 2024 presidential election.
Vance, 39, is a first-term senator who gained prominence after authoring his 2016 memoir, "Hillbilly Elegy."
The book describes his journey from an impoverished childhood to Yale Law School, and was used among media pundits to explain Trump's popularity among white, rural America in 2016.
The book was adapted into a Netflix movie released in 2020. It starred Amy Adams as Vance's mother and Glenn Close as his grandmother.

According to the Netflix synopsis, "a former Marine from southern Ohio and current Yale Law student is on the verge of landing his dream job when a family crisis forces him to return to the home he’s tried to forget."
USA TODAY reviewed the movie as "well-acted ... though its disconnected story is what’s unfortunately lamentable." Others criticized the film as portraying only stereotypes about Appalachia and being exploitative of its residents.
It received a 6.7/10 on IMDB and a 25% Tomatometer rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
