In politics, things don’t always go as expected. Even during serious events, some moments catch us off guard and make us laugh. One such moment happened at the 60th Presidential Inauguration of Donald Trump on January 20, 2025. On his way to the U.S. Capitol, Vice President-elect JD Vance was asked to walk around the limousine to use the other door. Why? Because, apparently, there was no room for him next to Vice President Kamala Harris, who was already seated comfortably.
HAHAHAHHAHAH.
The Secret Service made JD Vance walk around to use the other door to the limousine.
Did he expect VP Kamala Harris to scooch over for him?

It wasn’t what JD Vance likely expected. As the incoming Vice President, he probably assumed he would ride alongside Kamala Harris. However, the Secret Service had other plans. In a moment that quickly went viral, Vance was asked to walk around the limousine to use the other door while Harris stayed comfortably inside—rightfully so, as the sitting Vice President.

Though the decision was simple—ensuring security—the situation wasn’t what Vance had in mind. One would expect to be alongside the current Vice President on such a momentous day. Instead, he had to walk around the vehicle due to strict security measures. It was a small, funny moment that many found amusing.
However, while the limousine incident might provide some comic relief, the inauguration is still significant in American history. Having overcome impeachments, criminal indictments, and numerous controversies, Donald Trump is about to be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States. It is a decisive moment for his supporters, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the nation’s leadership, with Republicans poised to control Washington and reshape the country’s future.
The day is still full of meaning. As Trump takes control of the presidency, people watch closely to see what changes will come. But even amid all the politics, this funny moment with JD Vance becomes one of the day’s highlights.
Celebrities, sports figures, and business leaders also gather at the Capitol to watch the ceremony. Among them are big names like Mark Zuckerberg, Shou Chew, and Elon Musk, as well as sports figures like Evander Holyfield and Conor McGregor. It shows just how much the inauguration has turned into a big spectacle, where politics and fame often collide.
