JD Vance is mercilessly torn apart for 'embarrassing' Halloween costume: 'This dude will never president'
The Daily Mail ^ | 1 November 2026 | LAUREN ACTON-TAYLOR

Vice President JD Vance was blasted online for showing off his Halloween costume with his son Alec, the newest addition to their family, in a clip posted on social media.

Vance, 41, uploaded a video of himself dressed as Harry Potter franchise headmaster Albus Dumbledore, fitted with a long grey-haired wig and robe, as he held Alec in his arms.

'Hey guys, Vice President Dumbledore here with little Dobby the Elf,' Vance told the camera. 'Wishing you a Happy Halloween. Have fun, be safe, eat a lot of candy.'

Alec, who was born in July, was seen in a knitted hat completed with long elf ears resembling the house elf from the popular franchise.

But the respose to Vance's lighthearted post was not well received by voters.

'Holy s***. This dude will never be president,' one user wrote. 'JD Vance literally just keeps hitting all new lows,' another said.

The online mockery was savage and comes as the vice president's Republican allies are facing a potential wipe out in both congressional chambers.

oooooh, the online mockery is savage. Forget it, JD, one user said it was over, it's over.

Actually, his costume was stupid, but it's a costume. Small and petty article by Acton-Taylor - Acton......

Agree. It’s a minefield and someone for sure will mock. Best just to dress casual and hand out treats. Nothing more.

His costume is fine. The whole family dressed up which is nice.

Many people love to put down others on social media and chat sites because they think somehow it might make themselves look good. Ignore the losers.

The Daily Mail’s main purpose is rage bait. The articles are meant to get people stirred up an the comments are mostly Trump/MAGA derangement. Anyone taking articles in the DM seriously is not a serious person.

Its really innocuous.

Halloween is kinda the time you wear lame costumes and can get away with it. I think most men would look at that and say, ya...that’s my last minute family friendly costume pick too.

Howz about a costume showing a Muslim holding up a severed head. That’s what’s coming to Ungreat Britain-istan. Sad, but bye.

The Daily Ailment has a mental disorder.
Almost every article is written by someone with Trump Derangement Syndrome.
