JD Vance to become youngest U.S. vice president with facial hair in nearly a century
JD Vance, a 40-year-old senator and ally of Donald Trump, is set to become the next U.S. vice president. He will be the youngest in nearly a century and the first to have facial hair since 1933. Vance's selection marks a notable change in political appearance. He is the first millennial to hold the vice presidency and will bring back facial hair to the office after almost 100 years. Vance gained fame from his memoir, "Hillbilly Elegy," and was elected to the Senate in 2022. His close ties to Trump helped secure his position on the ticket.
