Vice President JD Vance accidentally dropped the college football championship trophy during Ohio State’s visit to the White House on Monday, where the team was celebrating their national title. The mishap unfolded in front of the entire team and President Donald Trump, who was caught on camera visibly wincing at the moment.
What happened?
As JD Vance reached for the trophy, he grabbed it awkwardly, causing it to split into two pieces. The base slipped from his hands and clattered to the ground. Fortunately, Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson, standing beside the Vice President, quickly caught the upper half before it could fall too. Vance bent down to recover the base, but players nearby looked visibly stunned. Even Trump was seen cringing as the mishap unfolded.
