Overview

• During remarks at Concord–Padgett Regional Airport, Vice President J.D. Vance called on a young attendee who identified himself as Henry and asked for a picture.
• Vance invited Henry onstage to cheers, they took a selfie, and he quickly returned to policy questions and press Q&A.
• The White House’s Rapid Response 47 account shared the exchange on X, where it drew notable engagement.
• Vance’s Concord message centered on public safety, keeping violent offenders behind bars, and strong backing for local law enforcement.
• He also headlined a Lexington fundraiser expected to bring in more than $2 million, continuing an active RNC finance schedule with at least ten events this year.
