Unlike his first presidential term, Donald Trump surrounded himself a very young team with a lot of charismatic personalities. Billionaires Ilon Musk, Mark Zerberg, Jeff Bezos, Peter Til. Among them is the current Vice president Jay Di Vance. At the same time, he, unlike the previous Vice -president, Kamela Harris, not just Trump’s creature, which is in the shadow of the president, but a very promising politician. Its already now called Young Trump and predict leadership in such a phenomenon as Trumpism when Donald Trump himself leaves the political arena. A week after inauguration, it is possible to evaluate his first actions in power.
Whether Di Vens can maintain its positions and popularity, whether it will repeat the fate of the president, Kamala Harris, who was prophesied by a great political future as a young change of Joe Baiden, but she ended her political career – a failure. About it in the material Briefly about.
Di Vance made himself himself40-year-old Jay Di Vance is a relatively new person in American politics, but already known. His life is actually an embodiment of what is called “American Dream”.
All the childhood of Vens went in poverty. The future Vice president grew up in a city that belongs to the so-called Rust Belt (rusty belt)-US regions of the Middle West and the east coast in Ohio, which have previously been the center of steel and coal industry, but since the 1970s began to decline. The shortage of jobs and a decrease in living standards. In his autobiographical book, Rural Elegy, Vance describes numerous trials, problems and his poor childhood.
The marriage of his parents was not happy. The mother suffered from drug addiction, and his father left the family when the boy was 6 years old. Jay’s grandfather Jim and grandmother Bonnie Vance was engaged in his education, so he later took their name.

After graduating from high school, Vance chose the only available “social elevator” for the poor resident of the problem region – went to the army, where he became a Marines. He served in Iraq for more than half a year, for which he received two medals.
But then he took advantage of the privileges of the military and decided to dramatically change the traditional fate of the poor American. Jay entered Ohio University, which he graduated with honors in 2009, receiving a bachelor of political science and philosophy. He continued his training in the elite Eli at a local law school, where he entered in 2010. He graduated in 2013 and received a doctor of law.
Learning in Eli opened Vance new horizons and opportunities. Among the invited lecturers of the school was the famous billionaire philanthropist from the Silicon Valley, Peter Til, co-founder Paypal and Facebook investor. He was a sponsor of Donald Trump’s election campaign. Thanks to him, Vance became a venture capitalist from the Silicon Valley.
During his election campaign, Donald Trump chose Jay Venta Candidate for Vice Presidents, the second most important figure in the system of the executive branch of the US government. In the event of death, incapacity or resignation of the state leader, his / her powers shall be transferred to the Vice President. Vice president is also a formal Senate leader. The position is mainly ceremonial, but gives a decisive right to vote in the event of equal division of congressman’s votes.
Even more radical than TrumpDi Vance calls himself a “new right” and an even more aggressive slogan – “let’s make a big America Great Again again” than Donald Trump. In the Senate, he became a star of radicals-Maga and regularly spread from the high podium of conspiracy theory and other similar narratives.
As for Ukraine, he went even further than Trump himself, and frankly urged not to help our country, but suggested that Putin’s subsequent. “I will be honest with you, I don’t care that it will be with Ukraine”, “I voted against the funding package for Ukraine”, “In the best interests of America – to accept what Ukraine will have to give in to some territories” – here are some of it candid anti -Ukrainian statements.
The same paradoxicalDi Vation is now even more unpredictable than Donald Trump. For example, he actively opposes abortions, same -sex marriages, illegal migrants. But in Eli, Vance met his future wife – the daughter of Indian migrants by Wash Chilukuri. The couple married in 2014 by inter -denominational rite (there were two ceremonies – Catholic and Hindu), now they are raising three children. And the fact that his wife, the daughter of migrants, does not affect the unwavering position of Vens to prohibit migration to the United States and his belief in the conspiracy theory of “great replacement” of the US white population.
Di Vation, unlike the same Trump, is very rigid against Ukraine’s support. But at the same time, his sponsor Tila-Palantir, which is the world leader in the production of software and use of SI tools for data analysis, is very active in defensive and other areas with Ukraine.
Palantir provides its data for free. In the summer of 2022, the representative of this company, Alex Karp, at the invitation of Viceremier Mikhail Fedorov, arrived with a visit to Ukraine and met with President Zelensky (at the same time, Vance confessed indifference to Ukraine). As of 2024, Palantir led 6 humanitarian projects in Ukraine, which are realized as free assistance.

Can become the next Trumpists’ leader and even presidentJay Vens is only 40 years old, and he is the first millennium (generation born in the 1980s and 1990s) among the first people of the United States. He is now called “the second Trump” and is seen by the future continuation of such a phenomenon as “Trumpism” after Trump himself comes off the political scene. He is now considered the main contender from the Republicans in 2028, unless, of course, Trump does not violate traditions and want to run again.
And And, in view of everything, Vance does not exclude his further climbing in American politics to a higher level. In American history, 15 vice -residents were occupied by the US Presidential Office. 8 of them – as a result of the death of the President, 7 – was elected from the standpoint of the Vice President.
Vance can be an important ideological indicator of where the Republican Party is moving. According to AXIOS, Vance is one of the leaders of “new right”, which combine economic populism with nationalism and conservatism. Behind this are peculiar figures from the technological world, like the aforementioned Peter Til and Ilona Mask.
The expert’s opinion
Vladimir Fesenko, Director of the Center for Applied Political Studies “Penta”:
-First, Jay Di Vance, unlike the gamals, is a very ambitious person. It is much younger, more energetic and charismatic. It is more plastic and with very large ambitions. He plays “long”. Harris was an invisible vice -resident and was “rubbed” in power – she was a “gray mouse.” And DI is unlikely to settle with this.
In addition, in the American tradition, Vice president is always the first candidate for president. But now there is one obstacle – the “cultural cult” of Trump, which has been incredibly developed in the Republican Party. And he, for example, can offer his successor to his son, Trump Jr.. In America, there were political dynasties – Roosevelt, Kennedy. Then it will be an obstacle to Di Wans.
