Jerry Dobbins remembers a young Vance growing up in Middletown, decades before he would be sworn in as vice president. Dobbins lived two doors down from Vance's grandmother − affectionately known as "Mamaw" − and he called her a "tough bird" who pushed her grandson to do well and stay out of trouble.

In Middletown, Ohio, many residents of JD Vance's hometown are bursting with pride at their native son’s accomplishments.

Not waiting until after his inauguration, on Thursday President-elect Trump gave the country a look at what he says are the official portraits of himself and Vice President JD Vance.
