Newly elected Vice President J.D. Vance will no longer represent Ohio in the US Senate and resigned from the post, effective Friday.
Vance wrote a letter to Ohio Governor Mike DeWine in this regard. Devin will appoint a new member in his place.
“I thank you for the privilege of representing Ohio in the United States Senate,” Vance wrote in the letter. “When elected to this position, I promised that I would never forget where I came from, and I strive to fulfill that promise every day.”
“As I begin my duties as Vice President of the United States, I want to say that it has been my honor and privilege to represent Ohio in the Senate for the past two years,” he said.
