Just two years after winning his first run for political office, Ohio Sen. JD Vance is set to become vice president — ushering a new generation into power and offering a potential glimpse at the Republican Party’s future after President-elect Donald Trump’s second term ends.

Beverly Aikins, Vance's mom, returned to Facebook on Wednesday to celebrate her son's win. Aikins took a break from social media in July to protect her peace of mind after seeing "vitriol and hate" toward her son, including from critics in Vance's hometown of Middletown, where she still lives.

Several genealogical websites suggest that through his maternal grandfather James Lee the VP Elect is descended from Andrew Williamson Vance and Jane Hoge who left Tyrone for the British Colonies in the 1700s. The couple were Mr. Vance’s eighth great-grandparents. Andrew Vance, according to a number of sources, died in 1754, in Frederick, Virginia.

President-elect Donald Trump praised Ohio Sen. JD Vance for his jousts with interviewers and indicated he wants to see more of it in the future.

J.D. Vance is a political novice who has quickly become one of the leading figures in Donald Trump's camp and, according to election forecasts, is on his way to becoming the new vice president-elect.
