JD Vance Selected as Trump's Running Mate, Breaking 'Beard Barrier'

The Ohio senator could be the first vice president with facial hair in nearly a century, redefining political aesthetics.

JD Vance, announced as Trump's VP pick at the Republican National Convention, could be the first bearded vice president since Charles Curtis in 1933.
Vance's selection marks a significant departure from the clean-shaven norm in U.S. politics over the last century.
Despite initial concerns about his beard, Trump praised Vance's appearance, likening him to a young Abraham Lincoln.
Vance's beard has sparked discussions about the role of appearance in political success and public perception.
This historic pick aligns with Trump's strategy to appeal to key swing states with Vance's strong regional support.
