Vance is widely recognized for his memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy,” which not only became a bestseller but was also adapted into a major motion picture. The book highlights the struggles and resilience of working-class Americans, a theme that resonates deeply with many of Trump’s supporters.
In addition to his literary accomplishments, Vance has had a successful career in technology and finance. His business acumen, combined with his deep understanding of the challenges facing American workers and farmers, positions him as a strong advocate for these communities.
According to the post, Vance will focus on key battleground states such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Minnesota, aiming to galvanize support from American workers and farmers.
