WASHINGTON 

Ex-US President Donald Trump announced Monday that Ohio Senator JD Vance will be his 2024 running mate.

"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," Trump said on his proprietary Truth Social website.

The announcement comes on the first day of the Republican National Convention when the party formally nominated Trump as its presidential nominee ahead of November's national election.

Vance has yet to officially comment, but is expected to address the Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based convention later Monday.
