JD Vance, an alumnus of Ohio State University, fumbled the football team's National Championship trophy in his exuberance to handle the prize during a meet and greet Monday at the White House.
The Buckeyes defeated Notre Dame in the National Championship 34-23 in January.
"There you see the president holding an Ohio State football helmet, a jersey being held up with Trump's last name, the number 47 on it," said anchor Boris Sanchez. "JD Vance, we should note, the vice president, also on hand. He's a graduate of the Ohio State University."
Vance clapped excitedly before moving over to a table displaying the towering trophy.

"Look at the size of that trophy next to JD Vance," Sanchez said as Vance attempted to lift the trophy.
The trophy then came apart in two pieces.
"Ooh! And it looks like the trophy fell!" Sanchez exclaimed. "That's unfortunate. Oh, and I'm sure, I'm sure this will wind up getting memed online."
Anchor Pamela Brown asked, "Did it break? Okay, no, it did not break. It just fell."
"Well, I'm glad that we could bring you this breaking news!" Brown said. "It's back together again. It's fine; everything's fine."
"Is it?" Sanchez asked, asked as Vance was seen holding the top portion of the trophy while the base remained on the table.
