Vice President-elect JD Vance will head into the White House with a tight-knit circle of loyalists who were with him during the campaign and, in many cases, came to the U.S. Senate with him from Ohio.

Vice President-elect JD Vance has served in the United States Senate for less than two years, but after President-elect Donald Trump's victory in Tuesday's election, Vance is about to get a promotion to president of the Senate -- and leave his post as one of Ohio's senators.

Beverly Aikins, Vance's mom, returned to Facebook on Wednesday to celebrate her son's win. Aikins took a break from social media in July to protect her peace of mind after seeing "vitriol and hate" toward her son, including from critics in Vance's hometown of Middletown, where she still lives.
