Trump names Ohio Senator JD Vance as VP selection
If Donald Trump wins in November, his veep pick could become the first vice president in nearly a century to wear facial hair.Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, could be the first vice president with facial hair in nearly a century.When Vance emerged in the public eye with his best-selling memoir “Hillbilly Elegy” in 2016, he fell in line with norms and rocked the clean look.
But his beard was in full force when he was elected to the Senate in 2022, becoming one of the few politicians on Capitol Hill with facial hair.BlackRock pulls ad that featured would-be Trump assassin The last veep to sport a beard as hefty as Vance’s was Charles Fairbanks, who was Teddy Roosevelt’s second-in-command from 1905 through 1909.
There were rumors that Vance’s uncommon beard could have cost him his new title as Trump’s vice presidential pick — with GOP campaign insiders“He looks good,” Trump said. “Looks like a young Abraham Lincoln.” Some research suggests that voters equate facial hair with personality traits that politicians want to steer clear of: aggressive, traditional and anti-feminist.voters see men with beards and mustaches as being opposed to reproductive choice and “more supportive of gun rights, military spending, and the deployment of force” — all of which rings true for Vance.
