The criticism came hard and fast.
“JD Vance’s tie is ALL WRONG,” wrote one person onX, formerly known as Twitter.
Anotherwrote, “JD Vance’s tie is one of the ugliest I’ve ever seen.”

Then there is some debate as to what shade of pink it really is.
However, there’s no denying it’s definitely more pink than any other color.
Anothersaid, “It looks like Vance’s tie was made out of my senior prom dress.”

So why JD Vance went with this out-of-the-box look with a pink tie, we don’t really know.
Some theorized that it was to soften his image and possibly appeal to female voters.
