What to know about JD Vance's views and policy record before the VP debate
CBSN
Washington — Sen. JD Vance is facing off against Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz at the vice presidential debate hosted by CBS News on Tuesday, as the two men with differing backgrounds look to highlight how their ticket is best suited for the White House.
For the junior senator from Ohio, who was first elected in 2022, Vance's record in politics isn't a long one. Vance rose to prominence in 2016 with the release of his memoir, "Hillbilly Elegy," which recounted his childhood growing up in the Rust Belt. Now the 40-year-old is seeking the nation's second-highest office.
Vance's views have appeared to shift during his time in the public eye — even when it comes to Trump himself. Initially an outspoken "Never Trumper," Vance has since become a reliable defender of the former president's record and vision.
