Oops! Video shows moment Vance dropped college football trophy: '...so I decided to break it'
World | Trending News | OSU running back TreVeyon Henderson grabbed the football-shaped top of the trophy, but the base fell to the ground and rolled away from him
United States Vice President JD Vance fumbled with a trophy belonging to the Ohio State University NCAA Champions Football team on Monday (April 14) as he dropped it during a White House visit. President Donald Trump hosted the champion team after the Buckeyes defeated Notre Dame 34-23 to secure the national title on January 20.
After Trump praised every player and their accomplishments, hethen gave the podium to Vance, who graduated from Ohio State and was the senator from the Buckeye state before assuming the office of Vice President, but something weird happened.
The video showed the exact moment he dropped the trophy. Later, the vice president tried to explain what exactly happened as he wrote on X, "I didn't want anyone after Ohio State to get the trophy so I decided to break it."
As per the video, it seems like he didn't realise that the top of the trophy is detachable from its base because Vance lost his grip on the two pieces after a struggle.
OSU running back TreVeyon Henderson,who was standing just behind Vance, grabbed the football-shaped top of the trophy, but the base fell to the ground and rolled away from him.
