On Jan. 20, JD Vance will be sworn-in as the next vice president of the United States. On Thursday, he announced his resignation from the U.S. Senate, effective at midnight Friday, Jan. 10. Vance was elected to the Senate in 2022 taking the seat previously held by Rob Portman. In a statement Vance wrote, “To the people of Ohio, I extend my heartfelt gratitude for the privilege of representing you in the United States Senate. When I was elected to this office, I promised to never forget where I came from, and I’ve made sure to live by that promise every single day.” Vance’s resignation will mean that Gov. Mike DeWine will appoint a replacement. There’s been no shortage of people interested in taking Vance’s seat. On Friday’s “Sound of Ideas Reporters Roundtable” we will talk about the shortlist for the seat and the rest of the week's news.
