Washington — JD Vance has officially resigned from his Senate seat as he prepares to become vice president later this month.

Vance, who served two years of his six-year Senate term, informed Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine of his plans in a resignation letter Thursday, saying his resignation would be effective at midnight.

"As I prepare to assume my duties as Vice President of the United States, I would like to express that it has been a tremendous honor and privilege to serve the people of Ohio in the Senate over the past two years," Vance wrote.

DeWine, a Republican, will appoint Vance's replacement. His successor will fill the seat until a special election is held in 2026. The winner of the special election would serve the remaining two years of Vance's term.

3. An illustrious career as a Senator.... NOT

“Nevertheless, Vance’s career on Capitol Hill is hardly the stuff of legend: Over the course of two unremarkable years, the Republican passed no bills, led no committees, and failed to play a leadership role on any issues. Trump — the only candidate to ever reach the White House without any experience in public service at any level — tapped him for the GOP ticket anyway. (The Ohioan will soon become the least experienced U.S. vice president in nearly nine decades.)”
