JD Vance addresses past criticism of Trump after he's chosen as VP: 'Bought into media's lies and distortions'

Ohio Senator JD Vance said Monday he’s trying to "enjoy the ride" after former President Trump announced on Truth Social that he was picking the "Hillbilly Elegy" author as his 2024 running mate. 

Vance told Fox News host Sean Hannity that Trump called and offered him the vice presidential nominee position, saying he believes the freshman senator can help him win in November. 

"[Trump] just said, look, I think I've got to go save this country. I think you're the guy who could help me in the best way.
