Early Wednesday morning, Vance shared a post on X, thanking his wife, Usha Vance, and Trump for "giving me such an opportunity to serve our country at this level."

"And to the American people, for their trust," Vance added. "I will never stop fighting for ALL of you."

Vance and Usha joined the president-elect and other MAGA allies on stage during an election party in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Tuesday evening.

During his speech after their victory was announced, Vance turned to Trump and said, "I think that we just witnessed the greatest comeback in the history of the United States of America."

Prior to being picked to be Trump's running mate back in July, Vance was an outspoken critic of the former president, once going as far as to describe him as "America's Hitler."

But after Trump's 2016 win, Vance revamped his public image into that of a staunch MAGA Republican.

Vance has since repeatedly apologized to Trump's MAGA base for his comments, stating in one interview, "I regret them, and I regret being wrong about the guy."
