Trump, Vance official portraits released


Official portraits of President-elect Donald Trump and Vice-President-elect J.D. Vance

President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team shared official portraits of Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance days before their inauguration.

Both of the brightly lit portraits capture 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 stone-faced expression from his 2023 mugshot, when he was booked at the Fulton County Jail after being charged with crimes related to trying to overturn his loss to President Joe Biden in Georgia’s 2020 election.

In Vance’s photo, the former U.S. senator from Ohio is smiling with a closed mouth, and folding his arms over his chest.

Trump’s chief photographer, Daniel Torok, first revealed the photos Wednesday on social media.

See the full portraits of Trump and Vance below.
