Trump’s vice president is JD Vance, the 40-year-old U.S. Senator from Ohio. Barring a bad showing in office, he will be the presumed candidate for the Republicans in 2028. If he does get the party’s nod and wins the election, he will be the third Catholic president in U.S. history.
Vice President-elect JD Vance’s wife, Usha, a practicing Hindu, once told him that she believed his 2019 conversion to Catholicism “was good for you.”
In the waning days of his single term in the White House, President Joe Biden announced he would bestow the Presidential Medal of Freedom with Distinction, the nation’s highest civilian honor, to Pope Francis.
