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.
