Donald Trump has announced Ohio senator, JD Vance, who once compared him to Hitler, as his running mate for November’s US election.

But who really is the 39-year-old former venture capitalist and now potential future vice president?

On this episode of the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson speaks to Sky’s US correspondent James Matthews, plus Josh Glancy, editor of The News Review, who interviewed Vance in 2017.

Plus, Niall also speaks to Sky’s security and defence editor Deborah Haynes about what implications politics across the pond will have on UK defence, which is undergoing a major review.
