JD Vance, the Republican senator from Ohio recently selected as Donald Trump’s running mate for the 2024 US presidential election, has a close relationship with his half-sister Lindsay Ratliff. Despite their unconventional upbringing, the two siblings have remained steadfast in supporting one another.
Lindsay Ratliff: JD Vance’s Unwavering Sibling
Lindsay Ratliff is JD Vance’s half-sister, born when their mother Bev Vance was just 19 years old. Though they share only one parent, JD and Lindsay have always considered each other full siblings due to their strong bond and Lindsay’s pivotal role in JD’s life.
When their mother’s tumultuous relationships and struggles with addiction left JD vulnerable, it was Lindsay who stepped up to provide stability and care. She confronted their mother about the impact her behavior was having on JD, and helped him navigate the revolving door of her partners. Lindsay’s maturity and dedication as an older sister was crucial in shaping the man JD would become.
A Life of Quiet Strength
Today, Lindsay Ratliff lives in Middletown, Ohio, not far from her mother and brother. She is married with three children of her own, and works as an assistant head coach at ASICS America Corporation. Though she keeps a low profile, Lindsay remains a steadfast source of support and guidance for JD Vance.
In his memoir “Hillbilly Elegy”, JD Vance described Lindsay as “more adult than child”, and the person he is “most proud to know”. He frequently turns to her for advice, crediting her unwavering presence during their difficult childhood. For her part, Lindsay has stated that she will always protect her brother, as he “has a part of [her] soul that nobody will ever have”.
