On nomination day, Trump announced Ohio Republican Senator James David Vance as his running mate for US Vice President. "As Vice President, J.D. will continue to fight for our Constitution, stand by our troops and do everything he can to help me make America great," Trump wrote on his social media platform.

As CNN reports, 66 percent of registered voters have either heard nothing of Vance or heard too little to form an opinion of him as a politician. Vance has "a special knack for connecting with Midwestern voters and is a model for transforming the Republican Party into the populist powerhouse that turned his home state of Ohio into a solid Trump state," writes CNN.

Joe Biden called Vance "a Trump clone on every issue."
