Vance has been very public and honest about the struggles he faced growing up with his mother, who was an addict.  His book, Hillbilly Elegy, was turned into a movie that portrayed the raw realities of the struggle many American families face.

Vance's mother proudly beamed as her son was sworn into office.

Speaker Mike Johnson shared a touching video of VP Vance stepping into the Oval Office for the first time.

Johnson wrote on X, "As we gathered for our meeting at the White House yesterday, JD Vance mentioned to us that he had never before visited the Oval Office. I told him and President Trump that I HAD to capture the moment on video."

"Only in America can a hardworking young man from Appalachia rise from his humble circumstances to enter the Oval for first time as VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. What a country!"
