Former President Donald Trump named Ohio Senator JD Vance Monday as his running mate for the 2024 presidential election, with both men receiving their party's nominations Monday in Milwaukee, and Illinois politicians were quick to react to the choice.
Following Trump’s announcement, reaction was swift, with Democratic National Committee chair Jaime Harrison released a statement saying “stakes of this election just got even higher” with Vance’s name being added to the ticket. In Illinois, several top Democrats were critical of the choice, including Gov. JB Pritzker. Pritzker’s thread on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter, begins with “Who is JD Vance” and goes on to refer to him as an “anti-abortion activist,” someone who “voted against IVF access” and more.
