Megyn was in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday to interview Vice President J.D. Vance for the first time in almost a decade. “It’s sort of a coming home for the two of us in a way in that it was nine years ago that I went out to Ohio and interviewed back then just a regular old J.D. Vance who didn’t have the title senator, wasn’t even running for Senate, never mind vice president,” she shared. “He and Usha were newly married. They were expecting their first baby, living in a small little apartment, and look at him now. What a change in his life in just those nine years.”
They sat down in the Vice President’s Ceremonial Office, which is located in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building just off the West Wing of the White House. Vice President Vance told Megyn that he thinks the room is “the most beautiful office in the [White House] complex,” but he admitted he doesn’t get to spend much time there aside from using it for the occasional interview.
Fortunately, Megyn and her team got to see that “ornate” and “lovely” space – and a whole lot more. Keep scrolling for a behind-the-scenes look at Megyn’s time at the White House…
