VP Vance's Trophy Mishap Amuses at White House Event

During a White House celebration for Ohio State University's national championship win, Vice President JD Vance accidentally dropped the trophy, leading to widespread amusement and online mockery. As Vance lifted the trophy, its detachable golden football top separated from the base, which fell to the ground and rolled away, caught mid-air by running back TreVeyon Henderson. The incident was witnessed by President Donald Trump and the team, and quickly became viral on social media. Vance humorously attempted to deflect the mishap by joking on social media, 'I didn't want anyone after Ohio State to get the trophy so I decided to break it.' The vice president, an Ohio State alumnus, was criticized for the gaffe, but the event concluded with laughter as the trophy was reassembled. Despite the mishap, the celebration recognized the Buckeyes' championship win and included playful jabs at rival Michigan.
