JD Vance caught on hot mic joking about Donald Trump's record-breaking 99-minute long address to Congress

WASHINGTON, DC: Vice President JD Vance was caught on a hot mic with House Speaker Mike Johnson joking about the length of Donald Trump’s record-breaking 99-minute long speech.

Vance was speaking to the House Speaker before the address when he unwittingly shared his thought about how long it would be but did not realize that the mic was on, the Irish Star reported.

In a clip that has gone viral across social media, JD Vance could be seen leaning in and muttering something in Mike Johnson’s ear. He then told the House Speaker, "By the way, I think the speech is going to be great. But I don’t know how you do this for 90 minutes."

In the clip, Johnson was seen shaking his head as he replied, "The hardest thing was doing it during Biden when his speech was a stupid campaign speech."

Johnson realized the microphone was on while he was speaking as he tried to push it away, per the outlet.

Meanwhile, Trump's speech to Congress became the longest in history given by a president, lasting a total of 99 minutes.

Trump used his speech to continue his relentless campaign to reshape the nation's economic, immigration, and foreign policy landscape, per the outlet.

Moreover, he also pushed for the policies he pledged to implement during his election campaign and his early return to office.

This was the vice president's second slip-up in just two days. On Tuesday, March 4, he was condemned for mocking the UK and France’s military might during an interview with Fox News, according to the Irish Star.

Vance called for Ukraine to accept Trump’s plans for a peace deal, which could favor Russia, when he seemed to insult some of the US' closest allies, per the outlet.

Vance said, "If you want real security guarantees, if you want to actually ensure that Vladimir Putin does not invade Ukraine again, the very best security guarantee is to give Americans economic upside in the future of Ukraine."

He continued, "That is a way better security guarantee than 20,000 troops from some random country that hasn't fought a war in 30 or 40 years."

However, he later backtracked and claimed he did not mention the UK or France and added that his comments were not aimed at either nation.
