Vance has been on a streak with sports analogies lately.
After former President Joe Biden falsely insisted that the Constitution had been amended to include the amendment of equal rights such as the 28th amendment, Vance made fun of that notion with a baseball comparison.
Vance responded to Biden’s statement in an X post, joking that Biden should put the late mlb icon late Pete Rose In the Baseball Fame.

“Hi Joe, if we are making false S — When leaving, can you declare Pete Rose to the Hall of Fame?” Vance wrote, in reference to an infamous baseball debate. Rose, the successful leader of all the MLB who died in September, was expelled from life for life for betting illegally in the games.
Vance, meanwhile, was able to witness the first national title of the Buckeyes since 2014 the same day as him and President Donald Trump were inaugurated. Vance has been a proud and vocal fan of Football from the state of Ohio throughout his political career as former state senator.

“I hope everyone is great with me omitting the inauguration so that I can go to National title game “, Vance joked in a publication on social networks.
During the campaign, Vance revealed that he told Trump his loyalty to Buckeyes could affect Trump’s possibilities to win the key state of the Michigan battlefield.
“When he asked me for the first time that I was vice president, I thought: ‘Well, you know, I hope we don’t lose Michigan as 900 votes, because you will regret it. Because it is probably just a thousand p — Ed-off fans Wolverine They would vote for a Buckeye, “Vance said during an appearance in Outkick’s “The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show”.
“But I think that most Michiganders can put aside sports rivalries and leave the country first, which, of course, we all believe is the most important thing.”
The National Democratic Committee tried to exploit Vance’s connection with the state of Ohio with a campaign strategy in Michigan in early September. The DNC flew an airplane on a Michigan football match on September 7 with a banner that said: “JD Vance [loves] Ohio state [plus] Project 2025. ”
However, the Trump-Vance ticket ended up taking Michigan easily.
