JD Vance won the most embarrassing ‘handshake’ you’ll ever see and it’s a proper doozy
Say what you like about JD Vance – please! – but there are two things we will definitely remember Donald Trump’s vice presidential running mate for.
One – all that business about the sofa, obviously. And two – this handshake. Well, we call it a handshake, surely the most embarrassing example of anything approaching that you’ll ever see.
It’s actually a moment from last year when Vance met Democratic congresswoman Marcy Kaptur on the picket line and Kaptur didn’t just own him with her words (although she did a magnificent job at that too).
“First time here?”
Vance: “First time here. Yeah.”

And here are just a few of the things people were saying about it today.
JD’s charisma has to be the worst of any VP candidate in American history. OK At least in the TV era, right?
