Vice President-Elect JD Vance Undergoes Minor Sinus Surgery

The planned procedure comes weeks before his inauguration as the youngest U.S. vice president since Richard Nixon.

  • Vice President-elect JD Vance underwent a long-planned minor sinus surgery at George Washington Hospital in Washington, D.C. on Friday.
  • The surgery, described as minor by his spokesperson, will not impact his schedule, and Vance is expected to return to work the day after the procedure.
  • This operation precedes Vance's inauguration on January 20, where he will assume the role of vice president alongside President-elect Donald Trump.
  • At 40 years old, Vance will become the youngest U.S. vice president since Richard Nixon held the office at the same age in 1953.
  • Vance, a current U.S. senator from Ohio, has not yet announced his resignation date, with Ohio Governor Mike DeWine set to appoint a temporary replacement until a special election in November.
