Simon Marks: FSN Broadcaster on the confirmation of JD Vance as Donald Trump's running mate

The Mike Hosking Breakfast

Donald Trump has named Senator JD Vance of Ohio as his Vice Presidential running mate.

Simon Marks of independent broadcaster FSN is at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where he told Mike Hosking there had been several tell-tale signs JD Vance was going to be Trump's pick for VP.

He says Vance received Secret Service protection on Sunday, and today he was reportedly provided with a motorcade to make his way to the convention centre.

Vance was widely believed to be Trump's pick, Marks saying that he was a critic of Trump in the 2016 election cycle, but has since embraced Trump's Make America Great Again movement.

Trump is also being formally confirmed as the Republican presidential candidate at the convention, just two days after surviving a deadly assassination attempt.

Meanwhile, he's also had a new legal victory with a US judge dismissing one of his criminal cases over allegedly mishandling of classified documents.
