    Vice President-elect JD Vance underwent a “long-planned” minor surgery Friday after appearing at the Capitol earlier in the day for the Senate’s swearing-in ceremony. “The Vice President-elect is having long-planned, minor sinus surgery and will be back at work tomorrow,” his spokesperson William Martin told Fox News.
