US Vice President JD Vance described his first visit to the Oval Office as “incredible” on Tuesday, January 21, in footage captured by US House Speaker Mike Johnson.
“As we gathered for our meeting at the White House yesterday, JD Vance mentioned to us that he had never before visited the Oval Office. I told him and President Trump that I had to capture the moment on video,” Johnson wrote in a post on X.
“Only in America can a hardworking young man from Appalachia rise from his humble circumstances to enter the Oval for first time as Vice President of the United States,” he added.
In the video, JD Vance is seen following President Donald Trump into the Office, turning around and saying, “Wow, this is pretty crazy. I’ve never been inside this room, this is incredible.”
Reports indicate that Trump, Vance, Johnson, and Senate Majority Leader John Thune gathered in the Oval Office on Tuesday to discuss their strategy for Congress.
