JD Vance, the Ohio Senator and author of 'Hillbilly Elegy,' has officially become Donald Trump's running mate, marking a significant transformation from his previous stance as a Never Trumper.

Additionally, Vance's wife, Usha, has faced racist attacks, despite her California upbringing and Indian heritage.
This development underscores the deep divisions and heated rhetoric characterizing the current political landscape.

How do you feel about a politician changing their public stance on a significant figure, like JD Vance did with Trump, and does it affect their integrity in your eyes?
