Former President Donald Trump tapped a fierce defender in the form of Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, to join his ticket -- and in doing so, is helping set the course of the Republican Party's future.

"Trump wants to make sure MAGA outlives him," said Dan Eberhart, a Trump donor, referencing the "Make America Great Again" mantra that the former
