Vice President-elect JD Vance has been known for his humble beginnings, even before he ran for public office. “Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis” was published 2016, and the movie adaptation came out in 2020. His background has helped him relate to voters, especially in the Midwest. However, in a post from Sunday, Current Affairs, a leftist magazine, tried to claim that Vance and President-elect Donald Trump are part of “right-wing populism,” and thus “born to immense privilege and went to elite schools.”
