U.S. Vice President knocks over a trophy at the NCAA champions’ reception and the video goes viral

JD Vance, alongside Trump, has an unexpected moment while handling the trophy presented to Ohio State

During an official ceremony at the White House on Tuesday, U.S. Vice President JD Vance dropped the National Collegiate Football Championship trophy while honoring the championship team from Ohio State University.

A graduate of Ohio State himself, Vance attempted to lift the trophy, but the loose base caused the piece to lose balance, separating into two parts and falling to the ground. One of the attendees tried to help him, but the incident resulted in laughter and expressions of surprise from the audience.

The object was quickly reassembled and returned to the table. In a relaxed tone, Vance lifted it again — this time without the base — and later commented on the incident on X: “I didn’t want anyone after Ohio State to get the trophy so I decided to break it.”
