Vance to Step Down from Senate Seat close to Inauguration


Vice President-elect JD Vance of Ohio announced his resignation from the Senate, effective at midnight on Thursday. He thanked the people of Ohio for their support during his two-year tenure and pledged to work with President-elect Donald Trump to enact his agenda. Vance, the author of “Hillbilly Elegy,” won his Senate seat with Trump’s endorsement and will be the third-youngest vice president in history at 40 years old.

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine will choose Vance’s replacement, who will serve until a special election in 2026. DeWine’s lieutenant governor, Jon Husted, is a leading candidate for the position, along with other Republicans like Jane Timken, Jay Edwards, and Robert Sprague. Husted, who has not officially decided to pursue the Senate seat, has been preparing a campaign to succeed DeWine as governor, who is term-limited.

DeWine stated that an announcement regarding the Senate vacancy will come next week, after working on it for some time. When asked about Husted’s position on a potential appointment, DeWine declined to provide details. The decision will have significant implications for Ohio’s political landscape, as Vance’s successor will play a pivotal role in shaping the state’s future.
