Donald Trump's Vice President pick JD Vance undergoes name change! Here are reasons
Donald Trump's running mate, has undergone name change. JD Vance was born as James Donald Bowman in Ohio's Middletown.
However, after the parents' divorce, Bowman's middle name had to be changed. During his military service days, JD Vance was known as James Hamel, as per a report on USA Today.
In 2014, JD Vance took maternal grandparents' surname after getting married to Usha, the USA Today reported.
JD Vance introduced himself to a national audience Wednesday after being chosen as Donald Trump’s running mate, sharing the story of his hardscrabble upbringing and making the case that his party best understands the challenges facing struggling Americans.
Speaking to a packed arena at the Republican National Convention, the Ohio senator cast himself as fighter for a forgotten working class, making a direct appeal to the Rust Belt voters who helped drive Trump’s surprise 2016 victory and voicing their anger and frustration.
The 39-year-old Ohio senator is a relative political unknown, having served in the Senate for less than two years. He rapidly morphed in recent years from a bitter critic of the former president to an aggressive defender and is now positioned to become the future leader of the party and the torch-bearer of Trump's “Make America Great Again" political movement.
The first millennial to join the top of a major party ticket, Vance enters the race as questions about the age of the men at the top — 78-year-old Trump and 81-year-old President Joe Biden — have been high on the list of voters’ concerns.
