<p>Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jd-vance" target="_blank" rel="noopener">JD Vance</a> (R-OH) said this week that former President Donald Trump&#8217;s desire to know what everyone thinks about a topic shows a type of &#8220;political genius&#8221; because he seeks to learn new perspectives.</p>
<p>The Republican vice presidential candidate made the remarks during an interview on &#8220;The Joe Rogan Experience&#8221; that aired Thursday afternoon while talking about the selection process for being chosen to be Trump&#8217;s running mate.</p>
<p>&#8220;[Trump] told me that he was talking to the gardener at Mar-a-Lago about who the vice presidential nominee should be,&#8221; Vance said. &#8220;And that&#8217;s one of, I think, Trump&#8217;s sort of political genius is he talks to everybody about everything.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And I was like, well, what did the gardener at Mar-a-Lago have to say about this conversation? Because this really directly impacts my life,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And, you know, he basically said, well, I think I&#8217;m probably going to pick you.&#8221;</p>
<p>Vance said that he started to realize that Trump &#8220;was thinking pretty seriously about making me his VP nominee probably earlier this year because he would ask me a lot about who I thought the VP nominee should be.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d give him names of people that I thought would be pretty good at it. And a lot of the names that I gave him, he would criticize,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And I almost felt like he was inviting me to throw myself out there.&#8221;</p>
<p>He said that the first time Trump discussed the idea of making him vice president was on the morning of July 13, the day that Trump was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania.</p>

<p>Vance said that Trump almost made the decision to announce Vance as his pick at the rally, but decided against it, opting to wait a couple of days later before breaking the news.</p>
<p>The 40-year-old said that when he saw that Trump was shot, he thought that Trump had been killed.</p>
<p>He said that he was with his kids when he learned about the assassination attempt and that he grabbed his kids and raced home as soon as it happened.</p>
<p>Once home, he said that he loaded up his guns and guarded the house.</p>
