Hillbilly Elegy’ author binds himself to Trump after past criticism

J.D. Vance, the best-selling author, was once a stern critic of former President Trump.

Now, as a candidate for the Republican Senate nomination in Ohio, he is a big Trump fan.

How and why Vance moved from one position to the other is a topic of red-hot debate only days after the “Hillbilly Elegy” author declared his candidacy for the seat that is being vacated by Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio).
