Roy Backs J.D. Vance for Vice President

"The once "Never Trump guy" has formally been announced as President Donald Trump's (R) vice presidential pick. The choice has been lauded by Republicans, criticized by Democrats, and if elected, he would become the first millennial vice president. With a potential vice presidential debate on the horizon, Texas. Rep. Chip Roy (R) is sharing his support for Ohio Senator J.D. Vance (R) as a sign of "GOP unity."

Shortly after being announce as President Trump's running mate, President Joe Biden (D) insinuated that he wasn't surprised his Republican challenger would pick someone like Senator Vance. "He's a clone of Trump on the issues, so I don't see any difference," he told reporters.

President Biden's own vice president, Vice President Kamala Harris (D), called Senator Vance to congratulate him, but in a video released on social media, she warned that the junior Senator poses a great threat to the country.

"Donald Trump has picked his new running mate: J.D. Vance," Vice President Harris addressed in the video. "Trump looked for someone he knew would be a rubber stamp for his extreme agenda. Make no mistake, J.D. Vance will be loyal only to Trump, not to our country."

Republicans however are embracing the choice, and one lawmaker who's celebrating the Republican ticket is Rep. Roy.

Taking to social media to congratulate his "friend," Rep. Roy called Senator Vance "a clear signal of GOP unity." However, he noted that the choice is "just not for the sake of it." "Rather, it shows unity of purpose… to challenge the status quo & drain the swamp, to fight for hard-working American families, and to finish the job of taking our country back. Congratulations. Now let’s go."

After weeks of speculation over President Trump's vice presidential pick, the choice was confirmed on day 1 of the Republican National Convention.
