Vice President-elect JD Vance has resigned his seat in the U.S. Senate effective Friday. The move will trigger Republican Gov.

Two years ago this week, JD Vance began a career on Capitol Hill. As he resigns, that part of the Ohio Republican's career is now over.

The Senate cleared the 60-vote threshold to begin debate on a GOP priority, with Democrats backing it as the party recalibrates politically on immigration. Final passage is still uncertain.

The bill, which would require federal authorities to detain undocumented immigrants arrested for theft-related crimes, was the first to be voted on by the newly installed Republican-controlled Senate.
