Reportedly, this photo is of Vance when he was a student at Yale Law School.
In the series of online reactions to this alleged Vance’s pic, one that stood out was in which he is being compared to Trump’s daughter, Ivanka.This comparison was made by GOP House Representative from California, Jack Kimble, who suggested that the individual in the photo looks like Ivanka Trump and Donald may have picked this 40-year-old Ohio Senator for his similarities with her.
X user Matt Bernstein shared this photo on the mircro-blogging site claiming that it is indeed JD Vance during his days at Yale Law School.. Commenting on Matt’s post, Travis Whitfill, who is an assistant professor adjunct in Pediatrics at Yale, claimed to be the source of the viral photo.
What makes the photo more interesting is that Trump faced major backlash from LGBTQ advocacy groups by choosing Vance as his VP pick.
Vance has been known for supporting bills and measures that are deemed controversial by the LGBTQ community. For instance, Vance supported a controversial bill that bans ‘X’ gender markers on US passports, which was introduced in April 2022.
He has also stressed a ban on gender-affirming care for minors. “Doctors should never perform these irreversible, gruesome surgeries on children”, he said while a bill regarding this was tabled in the House by Georgia representative Marjorie Tayler Greene.
