Quick name a United States vice president who had a beard.
If you’re able to’t, it’s probably because there hasn’t been one in your lifetime.
Vance of Ohio, sports a beard.
So should Vance get out the razor?
Political analysts say that the vice-presidential pick really doesn’t affect the way the public votes.
Bush-Dan Quayle ticket in 1988 and the Bill Clinton-Al Gore ticket in 1992 as examples.
“[Trump] didn’t do that.”
In 1908, newly elected president William Howard Taft must’ve wowed voters with his thick handlebar mustache.
“None of those associations were likely to appeal to a mass electorate.”
Vance, Donald Trump’s running mate in 2024, has gone without facial hair before.
“I can’t grow facial hair …
I get whiskers,” he said (viaHuffPost).
Entertainment brand The Shade Room created the viral image and the internet went crazy.
Obama with a beard.
“I’m not sure how much silver foxier we can handle him.
This lewk puts us all at SexyCon 4,” he wrote.
A year earlier,GQalso tried their hand at making over the former president.
Once President Obama leaves office, we don’t want to see him all buttoned up.
We want to see him enjoying himself."
(For what it’s worth, we think The Shade Room had the right idea.)
