Donald Trump announced on Monday he has selected Republican US senator JD Vance as his running mate.

The Ohio senator is the author of best-selling memoir Hillbilly Elegy, which was released as a film in 2020.

The American drama film was directed by Ron Howard following a screenplay by Vanessa Taylor.

It is based on Vance's memoir of the same name, and sees Vance looking back on his childhood in Middletown, Ohio.

Vance was raised by his mother, Beverly and her parents, who were from Jackson, Kentucky.

The memoir follows his mother's drug addiction as he and his older sister, Lindsay, struggle to handle her unstable behaviour.

The news of Vance's appointment as Trump's running mate emerged at the start of the four-day Republican National Convention in Milwaukee to nominate the party's presidential ticket.

Vance had previously criticised the former President, saying he was a "never-Trump guy" in 2016 adding he didn't see him "offering many solutions."
