<p>Vice President JD Vance attempted to recover a fumble after he dropped the trophy he was trying to hold up during a ceremony recognizing the Ohio State University football team.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-vance-celebrate-ohio-states-2025-national-championship-at-the-white-house" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ohio State team</a> was at the White House to commemorate their 2025 National Championship win (34-23) over Notre Dame — the first team to win in the new 12-team playoff format — and as they went to take a few photos, Vance appeared to suggest that he should hold up the trophy.</p>
<p>When the vice president went to lift the trophy off the table, however, the gold upper portion of the trophy and the black base separated — and Vance fumbled, trying to get ahold of one or both pieces. Running back TreVeyon Henderson and linebacker Cody Simon scrambled and were able to catch both pieces before the trophy hit the ground.</p>

<p>Vance, who was an Ohio State graduate himself, held just the gold upper portion of the trophy while he posed with the team for photos — but he took to X a short time later to acknowledge the flub.</p>
<p>&#8220;I didn’t want anyone after Ohio State to get the trophy so I decided to break it,&#8221; he joked. The trophy, as some noted in the comments, was not broken at all — the top had simply separated from the removable base.</p>

<p>Vance also took a playful jab at one person who had attended the event wearing a hat from OSU rival school University of Michigan, saying, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know who let the guy over in the corner here in a Michigan hat into this celebration but I&#8217;m about to tell the Secret Service you&#8217;ve got a dangerous weapon, sir.&#8221;</p>

<p>The team won the championship game on January 20, 2025 — the same day that President Donald Trump was inaugurated for his second term — and on Monday presented Trump with an Ohio State University jersey bearing his name and the number 47.</p>
<p>&#8220;It turns out January 20 was a big day for all of us,&#8221; Trump quipped.</p>
