WOW, they never gave up on each other.

[@irishamericanpinupdoll]

Right? There are so many people who give up on the people they love for a lot less sadly. ❤❤❤ congratulations to both JD and his momma!

[@DemonHunterX1]

That is actually pretty cool. This is the highlight of this convention.

[@SandyCampbellHemet]

JD is a man that loves his Mother and is very proud of her accomplishments. ❤

[@irishamericanpinupdoll]

No this is a great son who respects his mom for the imperfect human she is (and that we all are ) and recognizing her struggle, but more importantly her Victory! ❤

[@koisneurotypical]

I’m a single mom and I’ve been clean and sober for 10 years too. I already love him! 😂❤

Congrats!❤

Must be a proud mum to see her son on the way to becoming the Vice President of the United States.

[@christicrenshaw2772]

Aww, she got emotional. She should be proud of not just her son but herself as well. Congratulations

[@user-iz2wi8vq6k]

Yea! Wonderful lady!

I just saw it mentioned about his Mum on the news here in Australia. Went straight to the search bar to see this❤ Good luck USA

[@mitchellgolston2726]

Proof that it can be done and that GOD is good

[@seasonedbeefs]

Good? That's debatable. Old testament is not a good and just God

[@prometheusrex1]

Correct! It can be done, and God is good. 💪💙

[@TinaBali-om2nx]

Absolutely beautiful ❤️

[@brendajohnson9798]

The potential of a single mother in a household is boundless when there is faith, determination, divine support, and the power of God, regardless of the challenges faced. This is a remarkable testament to the strength and resilience of single mothers. While it is often emphasized that fathers are essential for raising successful men, it is important to acknowledge that many fathers contribute to the failure of their children. I am not opposed to men, and I myself was a single mother. My son tragically passed away while serving in the Marines in 2020, while my daughter, now 25 years old, is currently working on her masters to become a PA. I became a victim of rape, resulting in the birth of my son, and my daughter's father, a law enforcement lieutenant, abandoned us when I refused to terminate the pregnancy. Fortunately, I made the wise decision to continue with the pregnancy without him. May God continue to bless JD Vance, his mother, President Trump, and the Trump family. 🙏🌹 Trump/Vance 2024 🇺🇸 God is so GOOD, all the time 🌹🕊💯🙏 He exemplifies the biblical principle of honoring one's parents, particularly his mother. His character is reminiscent of my late son. Semper Fi 🪖🎖🇺🇸

The bandage on the ear is a little much. That is the kind of thing that Trump does that costs him votes, not from my family but with many who don’t decide who to vote for on policy but personality.

That's nothing. Don, Jr. has been clean for 20 minutes.

Vance Trump2024

[@ferrari7782]

When you put him next to the Cackling Hyena, I'd say JDs life accomplishments and the fact that he served 2 tours as a Marine in Iraq, make him not only far more accomplished and mature than the latter.

[@LumiOlpero]

Try again when the liquor wears off buddy.

[@SH-zj4gv]

No wonder Trump never liked Meghan (ditched her father) but loved JC Vance... Because no matter how toxic his mother was, he never gave up on her!! Because he saw the GOOD in her and never gave up on her. She too, had an amazing son that believed in her that's why she never gave up. This is Family LOVE. Pure LOVE.

[@angelosathog3928]

Proud mama i can tell , her son going to be posses one of the most powerful office in the whole entire nation, 💪..wow what happy mama...
