Incoming Vice President JD Vance, a devoted Ohio State Buckeyes fan, faces a scheduling conflict: his inauguration coincides with the college football national championship game. Having previously expressed high hopes for this year's Buckeyes team, Vance humorously suggested on social media that he might prioritize the game over the official ceremonies.
The inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect Vance is set for January 20th, the same day Ohio State will compete against Notre Dame for the national title. Vance's lighthearted post sparked amusement online, where he further jested about the dilemma with a meme presenting the two choices: attending the inauguration or witnessing a potential Buckeyes victory.
Ohio State secured their spot in the championship game after a Cotton Bowl win against Texas, aiming for their first national title since 2014. Their opponent, Notre Dame, triumphed in the Orange Bowl against Penn State and seeks their 12th national title, a feat they haven't accomplished since 1988. While attending the inauguration in Washington, D.C., Vance will undoubtedly be cheering on his Buckeyes from afar as President Trump begins his second term.
