Atlanta, GA – This afternoon, former President Donald J. Trump selected Senator J.D. Vance as his Vice-Presidential running mate. In response, Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund President Jenny Beth Martin issued the following statement:

“Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund is excited by President Trump’s selection of Senator Vance to serve as America’s next Vice President. Grassroots conservatives are already energized by the presidential race, and Vance’s selection will deepen that enthusiasm. Vance, like Trump, is not a career politician; he is someone who has been successful in multiple venues of life.  And like Trump, Vance is someone who throughout his life has been an advocate for the forgotten men and women of this country – the people Washington ignores and looks down upon.  Senator Vance will be an outstanding Vice President, an historic upgrade over the disastrous Kamala Harris.  The Trump-Vance ticket is the winning ticket in 2024.”
