JD Vance Undergoes Surgery Before Taking Office as Vice President

JD Vance’s rise to becoming Vice President of the United States is a remarkable story. Hailing from Middletown, Ohio, he burst into the national spotlight with his memoir, Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis, published in 2016.

After a distinguished stint in the military and a brief career as a venture capitalist, Vance is now the Vice President. However, despite his successful political career, the year began on a challenging note with Vance having to undergo surgery in January.

JD Vance’s childhood is not what you’d typically expect of someone destined for the White House. Raised in Middletown, Ohio, he grew up alongside his half-sister, Lindsay, with a mother who battled drug addiction. After his parents divorced, his mother’s violent tendencies became increasingly apparent.

Vance’s childhood was fraught with difficulties, many of which he documented in his 2016 memoir, Hillbilly Elegy. These experiences were later adapted into a film by Ron Howard, with Amy Adams and Glenn Close starring in it.
In an interview with NPR, Vance recounted harrowing moments, including when his mother threatened to crash their car with him and his sister inside. “[I] hopped in the back seat to hide from her,” Vance recalled. “This got her really angry. She stopped the car, pulled over, and I think she was going to start hitting me. So, I ran.”

A lawsuit was eventually filed against his mother, leading to Vance and his sister being adopted by their grandparents. While life wasn’t easy, the siblings persevered together.
The Early Days of JD Vance
When Vance’s half-sister moved out to start her own family, he was left to find his own way. Though unsure of his path, he harbored no resentment towards Lindsay. In fact, his memoir touched on this, leading Lindsay to emotional realizations and tears.
“I just felt so sorry for those kids,” she told NBC News, reflecting on her reading experience. Despite the challenges, Vance held no blame for his sister, seeing her departure as an opportunity for his own growth.
