MIDDLETOWN, OHIO: JD Vance's actual height often confuses people since it doesn't match the information found on Google and this has sparked curiosity among the American public.

In the upcoming 2024 presidential election, former president Donald Trump has picked Senator JD Vance (R-Ohio) as his running mate, according to The Direct.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 13: Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) speaks to the media outside of the Criminal Court where former U.S. President Donald Trump is on trial on May 13, 2024 in New York City.

Vance, once a vocal critic of Trump, has since shifted his position in recent years to become one of the ex-POTUS’ most consistent supporters.

Sen Vance became famous for his 2016 book ‘Hillbilly Elegy', which was adapted into a Netflix movie released in 2020.

The truth behind JD Vance's height controversy

There has been a lot of talk about how tall 2024 Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance actually is.

This all started when Google listed his height as 5'7", as noted by Lucas Tomlinson on X (formerly Twitter).



 

This sparked discussion online regarding Sen Vance's actual height, with Kassy Akiva mentioning the Google listing on X and suggesting that someone might have been making fun of Vance's height.



 

One user on X even went as far as to speculate that the public JD Vance might be a "double" because the "OG" JD Vance is supposedly 5'7".

User @NotOpCue shared an image of Vance with his wife, Usha, and their two children, comparing his two different heights to Usha's.



 

Lastly, @AwakenedOutlaw posted a humorous side-by-side height comparison of various prominent politicians. Even though it debunks the claim that Vance is 5'7", it also humorously depicts Barron Trump as being a fictitious 8'7".

These conversations continue to raise questions about Sen JD Vance's height and the reasons behind the confusion and conspiracy surrounding it.

What is the actual height of Sen JD Vance?

Despite Google listing JD Vance's height as 5'7", the 39-year-old clarified to the Daily Mail that he is 6'3". 

In order to eliminate any uncertainties, campaign official Jason Miller posted a picture on X of JD Vance standing alongside Donald Trump, with both of them appearing to be of similar height.



 

Former president Donald Trump's height is also recorded as 6'3" by his White House physician.

This clarification was intended to address any misinformation and online controversies.

Internet abuzz as speculations over Donald Trump's VP pick JD Vance's actual height surface

People online trolled Sen JD Vance for his height with many alleging Donald Trump's running mate is of the same height as the 78-year-old MAGA strongman.

One X user wrote, "Trump is 6'3". Vance is right at the same height."



 

Another user said, "How tall is he? I looked it up last night and did not believe he was only 5’7.”"



 

Another user remarked, "Woah, he's a manlet :O, still a great VP pick, but, yikes."



 

One user quipped, "He's a shrimp lmao."



 

Another X user claimed, "It's not really Google, it's actually Wikipedia and he could take it upon himself to fix it... or have an authorized person, fix it."



 

Finally, this user tweeted, "6’2 is the new 5’7."
