Ohio State made its way to the White House to celebrate winning the college football national championship on Monday, and as is customary, the Buckeyes brought their College Football Playoff National Championship trophy along with them. The visit was going smoothly — that was until Vice President JD Vance awkwardly dropped the trophy while trying to pick it up in front of the crowd.
Vance is, ironically, an Ohio State superfan and 2009 graduate of the school where he studied political science and philosophy. He served as a senator from his home state before winning election as vice president in 2024.
While the trophy sat on a table in front of the team, Vance tried to grab it from the base. In an awkward moment, the base separated and clattered onto the floor while star running back TreVeyon Henderson stepped in to save the golden trophy.
To be fair, the trophy itself is a little confusing. The oblong golden trophy is set on a black base, but the trophy is meant to be removed from the base to be held in the air. Typically, the trophy is lifted by an official and handed off to the players and coaches to celebrate. Understandably, Vance was a little too excited to hold the trophy. Thankfully, the trophy appeared to be no worse for wear after Vance’s fumble.
