The time has arrived for America to head to the polls to elect the 47th President of the United States.
Soon, the world will learn whether Kamala Harris or Donald Trump will take the top job, and we’ll also find out who will be VP.
Republican candidate Donald Trump chose to bring in JD Vance, 40, as his running mate, a move surprising to many since the Ohio senator was previously vocal about his dislike of the former POTUS.
Meanwhile, away from the election and his work in politics, JD is a father of three.
He also wrote a memoir, Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in a Crisis, which was a best-seller and detailed his tough upbringing while growing up in Midtown, Ohio.
It was also then turned into a Netflix film of the same name starring Glenn Close and Amy Adams.
Find out more about his children and family life.

“I think we found the first campaign that he embarked on to be a shock. It was so different from anything we’d ever done before. But it was an adventure.”
She added: “I’m not raring to change anything about our lives right now, but I believe in JD, and I really love him, and so we’ll just sort of see what happens with our life.”

Vivek is their second and youngest son, who was born in February 2020. JD made a rare comment about his son while on the Senate floor in February this year to celebrate his fourth birthday. JD said he was sad he couldn’t be with his son for his birthday but, according to The Hill, went on to read an extract of the Dr. Seuss book, Oh, The Places You’ll Go! as a tribute to him.
