(The Hill) — The Faculty Soccer Playoff Nationwide Championship Trophy got here aside throughout a White Home go to by the Ohio State Buckeyes soccer crew Monday as Vice President JD Vance tried to select it up.
As President Donald Trump posed for footage with the crew, Vance, an Ohio State alumnus, walked over to a desk the place the trophy was sitting and picked it up with the assistance of others. As he lifted the trophy, its black base separated from its metallic high.
“I didn’t need anybody after Ohio State to get the trophy so I made a decision to interrupt it,” Vance stated in a submit on the social platform X in response to a different submit that includes a video of the incident.
Ohio State gained 34-23 over the Notre Dame Preventing Irish in the Faculty Soccer Playoff in January. The sport between Notre Dame and Ohio State occurred on the identical day as President Trump’s inauguration this 12 months.
Earlier than the inauguration, Vance stated in a submit on X, “Hopefully everyone seems to be cool with me skipping the inauguration so I can go to the nationwide title recreation.”
Vance stated just a few days later that he was joking within the submit and that he would “be there doing my constitutional obligation and swearing in because the fiftieth vp of america.”
