US Presidential Candidate Donald Trump Picks Pro-Crypto Senator J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) as VP

US Presidential Candidate and former President Donald Trump recently made an announcement, revealing his pick for the future Vice President.

Former US President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has announced his pick for Vice President if he wins the upcoming elections. According to the statement, Trump has chosen Ohio Senator J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) to be his running mate.

Trump made the announcement on his social media app TruthSocial on Monday evening, writing that after “lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator J.D. Vance of the Great State of Ohio.”

He added that Vance had had a “very successful business career in Technology and Finance, and now, during the campaign, he will be strongly focused on the people he fought for, including the American Workers and Farmers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, his native Ohio, and beyond.”

Vance, who is known for being very crypto-friendly, is currently the favorite to be nominated for VP, with his odds of being nominated standing at 70% on the crypto-based prediction market platform Polymarket on Monday — placing him far above the competition.

Trump himself has also changed his stance on crypto significantly over the years. During his days as President, Trump was a crypto skeptic who said that he didn’t view Bitcoin as real money. However, in the years since, he has changed his stance considerably, now even accepting crypto donations for his campaign and giving promises that he will secure crypto-friendly laws.

The new announcement further confirmed that the former and potentially future US President has had a change of heart regarding the crypto industry. At the same time, Vance’s crypto-friendliness is bound to get the crypto community excited about the news.
