Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance stopped by Sup Dog, a bar in downtown Greenville, North Carolina, ahead of the East Carolina v. Appalachian State football game, which Vance is attending.
With music blasting on the outdoor patio, the Ohio senator walked up with a drink in his hand and sat down at a picnic table with three young men. Vance, who was joined by his wife, Usha, made his way to different tables, greeting people, chatting and taking photos.
“Remember to vote November, right,” Vance told a group of people. “Y’all going to the game or are you just here to drink?”
One of the men asked, “Any chance you want to get drinks at the bar?”
Vance laughed and said he already had one.
“If I take shots all of these reporters will cover it negatively, so I can’t do it,” Vance joked.
Pigskin politics: Last week, the Democratic National Committee flew planes over college football games in Midwestern battleground states featuring banners linking Vance and his running mate, former President Donald Trump, to the controversial conservative policy platform Project 2025.
