Official portraits of President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance
President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team shared official portraits of Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance days before their inauguration.
The two well-lit portraits show the Republicans wearing blue suits over white collared shirts and blue ties, with Trump sporting an American flag pin on his lapel.
Trump’s photo closely mirrors his stony expression from his 2023 photo, when he was incarcerated in Fulton County Jail after being charged with crimes related to trying to overturn his defeat to President Joe Biden in of the 2020 elections in Georgia.
In Vance’s photo, the former U.S. senator from Ohio smiles with his mouth closed and crosses his arms across his chest.
Trump’s chief photographer, Daniel Torok, first revealed the photos Wednesday on social media.
