Ohio Senator J.D. Vance’s name is being added to former President Donald Trump’s plane, nicknamed “Trump Force One,” following Trump’s announcement that Vance will join the ticket as his running mate.

The Senator from Ohio is officially joining Trump’s ticket as the vice presidential candidate after months of speculation. Trump’s announcement came on the first day of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, just days after the former president was grazed by a bullet from a would-be assassin at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

“After lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator J.D. Vance of the Great State of Ohio,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social, adding that Vance “will continue to fight for our Constitution, stand with our Troops, and will do everything he can to help me MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.”

Vance was elected as the United States Senator for Ohio in 2022 following an endorsement from Trump. The Yale Law graduate and Hillbilly Elegy author has since become one of Trump’s strongest defenders in the Senate and has fought for conservative priorities, fighting back against illegal immigration and working to shut down the DEI agenda in the federal bureaucracy.

Trump’s decision to select Vance as his running mate was met with support from national figures like Elon Musk, who called Trump’s pick an “excellent decision” and said that the Trump-Vance ticket “resounds with victory.”

Venture Capitalist David Sacks offered his own statement in support of Vance and Trump’s decision to pick him as his running mate. “When the Twin Towers came down, JD Vance enlisted in the Marine Corps, gung-ho to exact justice on America’s enemies. Subsequently he came to believe the Forever Wars were a mistake,” Sacks wrote on X.  This is who I want by Trump’s side: an American patriot, with the courage to fight America’s wars but the wisdom to know when to avoid them. God bless JD, God bless Trump, and God bless the USA.”

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle will testify next week before the GOP-led House Oversight Committee on the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, the panel announced on Monday.

Scheduled to take place on Capitol Hill at 10 a.m. ET on Monday, the public hearing will give lawmakers and the American people a chance to hear first-hand about the attack that took place at Trump’s campaign rally in Pennsylvania over the weekend.

“The Secret Service has a no-fail mission, yet it failed on Saturday when a madman attempted to assassinate President Trump, killed an innocent victim, and harmed others,” Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said in a post to X, adding that his panel will “get answers.”

On Saturday, a gunman opened fire and a bullet ripped through Trump’s ear. Secret Service personnel killed the shooter, but not before one rally-goer was killed and two others were injured, and rushed to the former president to offer him protection.

Questions have been raised about how the shooter managed to get onto a nearby rooftop and start shooting from roughly 150 yards away. Sources told NBC News the Secret Service had even identified the roof as a vulnerability before the rally.

Cheatle, appointed by President Joe Biden in 2022, has said the “Secret Service is tasked with the tremendous responsibility of protecting the current and former leaders of our democracy. It is a responsibility that I take incredibly seriously, and I am committed to fulfilling that mission.”

GOP senators are pushing the Democrat-led Judiciary Committee in the upper chamber to secure testimony not only from Cheatle, but also Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and FBI Director Christopher Wray for a hearing.

And following the shooting, which did not stop Trump from flying out to Milwaukee this week for the Republican National Convention, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) announced the House would conduct a “full investigation” into the attack.

“The American people deserve to know the truth. We will have Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle and other appropriate officials from DHS and the FBI appear for a hearing before our committees ASAP,” he said in a post to X on Sunday.

Rep. Mark Green (R-TN), chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, sent a letter to Mayorkas demanding information while noting “some reporting” that suggested his agency “rebuffed” multiple requests from Trump’s security detail to increase protective resources in recent weeks.

In a post to X on Sunday, Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said that there was “an untrue assertion that a member of the former President’s team requested additional security resources & that those were rebuffed.”

Guglielmi added, “This is absolutely false. In fact, we added protective resources & technology & capabilities as part of the increased campaign travel tempo.”

A bipartisan pair of lawmakers in the House, Reps. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) and Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.), said they were putting together legislation that would beef up Secret Service protection for presidential candidates, including Trump, Biden, and independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
