J.D. Vance Trolls Biden’s 28th Amendment Claim with Joke About Pete Rose [WATCH]

With less than 48 hours remaining before President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance are set to take the oath of office, a new controversy has emerged involving outgoing President Joe Biden.

On Friday, Biden declared that a “28th Amendment” to the U.S. Constitution has been ratified, a claim that has sparked widespread debate and raised questions about its validity.

Speaking from the White House on Friday, Biden stated, “Today I affirm the Equal Rights Amendment to have cleared all the necessary hurdles to be added to the US Constitution. Now! …The Equal Rights Amendment is the law of the land. Now! It’s the 28th amendment to the Constitution now!”

This announcement, which Biden described as a landmark achievement, has been met with skepticism and criticism, particularly among constitutional scholars and Republican lawmakers who questioned the legitimacy of his claim.

Vice President-elect J.D. Vance, who is preparing for the inauguration alongside Trump, took a moment to address Biden’s statement with a dose of humor and cultural commentary. In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, Vance responded to Biden’s announcement by writing:

“Hey Joe if we’re doing fake shit on the way out can you declare Pete Rose into the Hall of Fame? See you in two days!”

The comment drew attention not only for its humor but also for its reference to a long-standing cultural debate—whether Pete Rose, the legendary baseball player banned from Major League Baseball for betting on games, should be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Vance’s response highlighted a common strategy of blending cultural references with political messaging.

The mention of Pete Rose, a controversial figure in sports history, resonated with many Ohioans and baseball fans across the country.

For residents of southwestern Ohio, the debate over Rose’s Hall of Fame eligibility remains a deeply personal topic.

As the clock ticks down to Monday’s inauguration, Trump and Vance are focused on the events leading up to their swearing-in.

The ceremony, set to take place at noon in Washington, D.C., marks the beginning of their administration.

While Vance’s lighthearted jab at Biden gained traction online, it also underscored the transition from one administration to another and the differing approaches to governance and communication.

The inauguration of Donald Trump and J.D. Vance represents a significant shift in leadership and policy direction.

With Biden’s controversial remarks and the ongoing discussions about cultural touchpoints like Pete Rose, the incoming administration is poised to address both national and cultural issues with a fresh perspective.

As Monday approaches, all eyes remain on Washington, where Trump and Vance will place their hands on the Bible and take the oath to defend the Constitution and protect the American people, marking the start of a new chapter in U.S. history.
