This is the best summary I could come up with:


It was his first campaign rally as Donald J. Trump’s running mate, and JD Vance was up onstage, all by his lonesome, playing it humble.

“It’s still a little bit weird to see my name on those signs,” Mr. Vance, a senator from Ohio, told a packed arena of Trump supporters in Grand Rapids, Mich., on Saturday.

Yet, Mr. Vance’s debut made clear one indisputable fact: While his political career has been propelled by his biography — the story of his climb from poverty to Yale Law School to media stardom to populist princeling — this campaign is not about him.

He posted on Twitter that he had selected Mr. Pence, the former governor of Indiana, as his running mate, and a news conference was slapped together in the ballroom of a Hilton Hotel in Midtown Manhattan.

Mr. Trump spent about as much time talking about Hulk Hogan — the aging wrestler whose shirt-ripping endorsement was a convention highlight — as he did his new running mate.

In a clip released on Saturday night, Mr. Vance nods intently as Mr. Trump wonders why Secret Service agents didn’t respond fast enough when rallygoers spotted the gunman on the roof of a building.
