The choice is Ohio Senator J.D. Vance.
Only 39 years old, Vance represents the hopes and dreams of many young conservatives.
He is also outspokenly pro-Israel.
However, he has only been a U.S. Senator for 18 months.

Some Republicans – including former Senator Rick Santorum, in an interview published by ALL ISRAEL NEWS earlier today – are questioning whether Vance is ready for the job.
Trump is expected to formally and personally make the announcement at 4:30 p.m. EST at the GOP Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
