Mr. Vance’s journey to political prominence began in 2016 with the release of his bestselling memoir “Hillbilly Elegy,” which delved into his upbringing in Appalachia and shed light on the challenges faced by rural America, such as poverty and the opioid crisis. During that time, he was vocal in his criticism of then-candidate Donald Trump, labeling him as “cultural heroin,” an “idiot,” and a “total fraud.”
However, following his election to the Senate in 2022, Senator Vance underwent a transformation, embracing a more conservative populist stance and aligning himself closely with former President Trump.
