Vice presidency of JD Vance

JD Vance is serving as the 50th vice president of the United States during the second presidency of Donald Trump since January 20, 2025. Vance, a member of the Republican Party who previously served as the junior U.S. senator representing Ohio from 2023 to 2025, was selected as former president Trump's running mate and took office following their victory in the 2024 presidential election over Democratic nominees Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. He is the first Millennial to hold the office and the first vice president to have served in the U.S. Marine Corps.

Vance is the youngest person elected to the office since Richard Nixon in 1952, as well as the third-youngest vice president in U.S. history. He is the second Catholic to hold the position, after Joe Biden, and has the least previous political experience of any vice president, serving two years and seven days in office as senator from Ohio before assuming the vice presidency. During his tenure, Vance has also served as the finance chair of the Republican National Committee.

During Vance's term in office, the Republican Party has held majorities in the House of Representatives and the Senate in the 119th U.S. Congress.
