If you’re wondering where Vice President JD Vance is right now, a good guess to make is on vacation.
Since Trump took office again in January, Vance has gone skiing in Vermont and run after his kids in Disneyland. He went boating with his family in Nantucket, Massachusetts, and again for his birthday in Ohio, where the Army Corps of Engineers changed the outflow of a lake to create “ideal kayaking conditions,” one source told the Guardian.
Most recently, he went to the U.K., where he vacationed in the posh Cotswolds before golfing in Scotland. Even on diplomatic visits, he has made personal time to tour the Taj Mahal in India with his family.
Media outlets have estimated that Vance has taken eight vacations in his first seven months in office.
Vance’s life of leisure to ski, golf and visit Disneyland with his family wouldn’t be a problem if Vance were a private citizen, but as an elected official, the visibility and the frequency of his off-time is notable –– and receiving criticism. Locals are not always happy when the Vances come to town; Vance’s wife, Usha, received pushback after her private Rome Colosseum tour closed the landmark to the public.
