    Vice presidential candidate JD Vance, standing outside the Cincinnati church where he voted Tuesday, called on voters to “get this election across the finish line.”

    Vance voted Tuesday morning at St. Anthony of Padua, a Catholic church in Cincinnati’s East Walnut Hills neighborhood, where he has owned a house since 2018. The Republican The Ohio senator is a native of Middletown, Ohio, Located approximately 40 miles north.

    The Ohio senator was accompanied by his wife, Usha Vance, and two of their three children.

    “Of course I voted for Donald Trump and myself and my wife,” he told reporters after the vote. Vance said he and his wife also voted for Republican Bernie Moreno, who is running to defeat Ohio U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown.

    “I feel good,” he said of the presidential race. “You never know until you know, but I feel good about this race. I felt good about my own (Senate) race a few years ago when I voted in the exact same place. I hope this will work out just as well for President Trump and me, as it did a few years ago in Ohio.

    Vance won’t speculate on who he’d like to take his Senate seat if he wins, saying he’s “too superstitious to talk about these things.”

    The senator said he did not speak with Trump on Tuesday, but missed a call from the former president around 3 a.m.

    “I think what today represents is an opportunity to repay a debt that I owe to this country,” Vance said when asked how it felt to vote for himself for vice president near his hometown.

    “If I’m vice president, I’m going to work as hard as I can to pay off that debt. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to repay what this country has given me, but I’m going to try. But we have to ‘first win.
