Who is JD Vance? Things to know about Donald Trump’s pick for vice president
SUMMARY: Former President Donald Trump selected U.S. Sen. JD Vance of Ohio as his 2024 running mate. Vance, a 39-year-old Republican and former venture capitalist, gained fame for his memoir “Hillbilly Elegy,” which resonated with Trump's working-class, rural voter base. Initially a Trump critic, Vance shifted his stance, becoming a staunch ally. Elected to the Senate in 2022 with Trump's endorsement, Vance is now a prominent conservative voice. He has occasionally embraced bipartisan efforts, such as co-sponsoring a railway safety bill. Vance brings strong debating and fundraising skills, potentially aiding Trump in swing states.

Trial underway for Mississippi man charged in brutal killing of mother
SUMMARY: A trial is currently ongoing for Terelle Johnson, charged with the 2018 murder of his mother, Sherry Johnson, a guidance counselor. The case involves graphic details, as investigators revealed that Johnson brutally beat and choked his mother, subsequently decapitating her with a butter knife and his hands.

His attorney argues he was insane at the time, while prosecutors counter that he was under the influence of drugs.
