If anything, his transition from Trump political foe to running mate was not only inevitable but predictable the moment he first filed to run as a Republican. AdvertisementWhat does interest me about Vance’s political ascension, however, is how the (“liberal”) media helped make him the most natural successor to the MAGA movement. Donald Trump Jr., who pushed his father to choose Vance as his running mate, was an admitted big fan of ”Hillbilly Elegy” back in 2016. Not just Fox, but the supposed liberal cable news channels, the Hollywood studios, and the upper echelon of political media. And like Trump, Vance may talk about his enemies — elites, liberals, etc.
