JD Vance gives Jim out of the office

He's from Ohio, not Scranton.

Tonight, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D), Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate, and Ohio Senator JD Vance (R), former President Donald Trump's nominee, face off in the first vice presidential debate.

And as Walz speaks, many notice that Vance repeatedly looks into the camera with a noticeable eye roll – a gesture similar to what John Krasinski would make as Jim Halpert The office.

An X user posted a photo of Vance looking at the camera and grinning as Walz speaks.

“He thinks he’s fucking Jim Office,” the X-user said, referring to Vance.

And many agreed.

“BREAKING: JD Vance keeps trying to get Jim from the office to look at the camera but can't quite manage to catch the lens,” another X user tweeted.

“Vance looks at the camera like Jim from The Office,” tweeted another.

“If you don't follow the VP debate, you need to know that JD Vance took a look at Jim from The Office multiple times whenever Walz made a valid point,” another added.

“Vance is trying to give the camera a Jim-from-the-office look,” said one X user.

Vance's appearance may have something to do with Walz's slow start to the debate. When it started, Walz stumbled out of the gate, giving Vance enough time to ambush him.
