why ohio and? we've already talked about a lot of these issues that are probably responsive before this first demographics. we've already talked about this. we've seen how ohio rose become the third largest state in the country by the 1840s. so just by sheer force of numbers, the state would have a leg up. but this alone explain it all new york and pennsylvania had more people but they didn't the same record. what else is true ohio's politic population it comes from. it's not just how it's where they're as we've seen ohio the first state carved out of the public system and ohio drew its population from all over the country. mid-atlantic southerners. they funneled into the state and also drew overseas immigrants from places like germany and ireland. so as one historian has said, ohio was as near a microcosm of america as one could find in the late 19th century. and as such, it becomes important swing state whose state and congressional delegation could flip between democratically controlled and repu

.: so, i was born in southern ohio. a steel town called middletown, ohio. which we always said it was "middletown" because it was in between cincinnati and dayton and that was the most impressive thing about it. but i spent a lot of time in eastern kentucky because my grandparents, who i grew up with, were kind of appalachian diaspora. so, they came from eastern kentucky coal country and worked in southern ohio steel mills, which is kind of a common story in that area. brian: can you paint a picture of middletown and jackson, kentucky? j.d.: sure, so jackson, kentucky is just pretty small. it's got about 6,000 people in it. pretty impoverished. 30%-40% poverty rates. the opioid epidemic has really hit jackson hard. and so that is a big part of what is going on in these areas. not a whole lot of people working. obviously, the coal -- the loss of coal jobs has hit this area pretty hard. so in some ways, it is a pretty tough area -- a tough area to grow up in. middletown is in some ways, it was supposed to be the economic savior. in a lot of ways, it was. beca

your reaction to this pick. >> this is a great day for ohio. ohio is the heart of it all, now we are going to have the vice presidential nominee and vice president of the united states. j.d. vance will do an excellent job, he's a new generation he's exactly what we need to. he's someone whose life experiences bring a lot to this ticket. growing up in ohio, difficult circumstances, someone who served in the military. it's a great pick. >> we were talking earlier about how he came out of nowhere politically in 2021, he had been a figure based on his book, his activism, what was it when he ran for senate in 2021 that helped him win that might help donald trump win this year? >> he had donald trump's endorsement, that was a huge thing. a big difference in that tight race. i think that what people have seen, on the talk shows on the floor, different places, he is very articulate, he is very bright. he brings this world experience, i think it will have a great appeal, that experience to the people of the united states. >> do you have any concern abou

he grew up here in northeast ohio. i'm just not that far from where john is, down at the marble room there. and i think i maybe would like to head there when this is over tonight to get one of those old fashions that looks pretty good, but he was he was born and raised here in northeast ohio. you know, never really called himself an abolitionist, but he was very, very much anti slavery, as was was pretty common here in northeast ohio. so went to school, got a very good education, was an academic as i said. and then when the civil war came along, decided he needed to do his part, joined union army, served in the army for about two and a half years. and then while he serving in the army was elected to congress and then went to the house of representatives in late 1863, while the war was still going on and stayed there until 1880, when he was elected president. so tell us about what garfield's opinion and his stances were on slavery as he entered the civil war. and tell us a little bit more his civil war service. sure. so

as i recall from ohio state. yeah, i think my year i was the only ohio state grad at yale. so you know, it was it was weird to me because i realized that there were high schools, you know, repertory schools where there were more from that high school at yale law school than there were my university, which struck me as a little bit weird. but but yeah, it was definitely a culture shock. it was it was more of a culture shock, frankly, than any place i had ever been. it was more of a culture shock than the marine corps, more than ohio state. you know, it was sort of astonishing just how different the expectations and the backgrounds were from some of my classmates relative to where i came from. now, another person who went to yale law school, bill clinton, came from arkansas and he used to apparently a lot of pride and say, i'm from arkansas. it's a great state and so forth. did you say i'm a hillbilly from kentucky and ohio and? and, you know, i'm really different, but really as good as you guys are. how did you fit? i don't know that i ever introduced myself and said i'm a h
