A monthly podcast where brothers Ryan and Kevin talk about American Presidential Politics through the lens of the loser, taking a deep dive into the lives and legacies of the men and women who ran for president and “almost” won.
On the first day of the 2024 Republican National Convention, Donald Trump announced Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his Vice Presidential pick. The announcement came in the wake of much speculation about who Trump would pick and clearly demonstrates his desire to pick an intellectual successor to the MAGA agenda.
But aside from a Trump bootlicker and a shrewd, power-hungry political novice, who is J.D. Vance and what does he offer to the Trump-Vance ticket?
In order to better understand the moment in American politics that led to the rise of J.D. Vance, we're replaying an old episode that was recorded in the lead-up to the 2022 Ohio Senate Race. In it we discuss his bio, his 2022 political platform, and the close race he ran against Democrat Tim Ryan.

It’s the run up to the 1876 Election!
A vengeful and embittered Democratic Party and a Republican Party mired in scandal meet at their respective nominating conventions.
For the Republicans, Ohio Governor Rutherford B. Hayes demonstrates the impact of “the Joe Biden Effect” by winning the nomination for being “offensive to no one.”
On the Democratic side, New York Governor Samuel J. Tilden wraps up the nomination with relative ease, and accepts the nomination like an absolute boss.
Meanwhile, the country prepares itself for one of the most brutal, fractious, and violent election cycles in American history.
