Vice President JD Vance has a multitude of responsibilities, yet online discussions predominantly center around one topic: his eyes. Specifically, there is ongoing speculation regarding whether he uses eyeliner. Despite numerous denials, including statements from his wife, Usha Vance, the rumors about his seemingly enhanced eyelashes persist. Each time he appears in public, social media ignites with new jokes and renewed intrigue.
The Eyeliner Controversy
The conversation about Vance’s striking blue eyes gained momentum when he was mentioned as a potential vice presidential candidate. Even Donald Trump commented on his running mate’s appearance, stating during a Fox News interview, “He looks like a young Abraham Lincoln.” However, the current focus has shifted from his resemblance to Lincoln to his eyelashes.
Usha Vance previously informed Puck News that her husband’s prominent lashes are “completely natural,” adding, “I’ve always been envious of those lashes.” Former congressman George Santos also entered the discussion, asserting that Vance does not wear makeup. “I’ve met him in person before he became a senator, and I can confirm he has long eyelashes. They cast a shadow on his waterline in brightly lit studios,” Santos posted on X in October 2024.
