How tall is JD Vance? Is he actually 5 feet 7 inches?

As J.D. Vance steps into the spotlight as former President Donald Trump's running mate in the 2024 election, various details about his life are coming under scrutiny, including his height.

Initial Google search results incorrectly listed Vance's height as 5'7", which seemed notably inaccurate given his stature compared to his Senate colleagues. To clarify, a campaign official released a photo of Vance standing next to former President Trump, who is listed as 6'3" by his White House physician.Vance is almost as tall Trump and is at least 6’2’’.
This isn't the first instance of online search results misrepresenting the height of a prominent political figure. Vice President Kamala Harris expressed frustration in an interview with Katie Couric about her Wikipedia entry listing her as 5'2".
"That is absolutely incorrect. I am 5’4″ and a quarter," Harris corrected. "They just want to make us smaller in every way," she added, noting she reaches 5'7" and a half in heels.
If elected, Vance would be the tallest vice president in recent history. For comparison, former Vice President Mike Pence is 5′10″, President Joe Biden, former Vice President under Barack Obama, is 6′0″, former Vice President Dick Cheney is 5′8″, and former Vice President Al Gore is 6'1″.

On a warm winter afternoon in February 2021, J.D. Vance walked into Donald Trump's office at Mar-a-Lago. Trump had a thick stack of papers on his desk: printouts of Vance's numerous criticisms of him, including an essay in The Atlantic where Vance had described Trump as "cultural heroin," offering false promises to the white working class.
Trump bluntly confronted Vance, using an expletive to express his displeasure about the "nasty stuff" Vance had said. This discussion, detailed by two sources who insisted on anonymity, was a critical moment for Vance.
Meeting Trump for the first time, Vance needed to make a good impression or at least ensure Trump left with an open mind. Vance, author of the best-selling memoir Hillbilly Elegy, was running for the U.S. Senate seat in Ohio as a Republican populist. Previously a Never Trumper, he was now seeking Trump's endorsement.
Vance chose to apologize immediately. He admitted to Trump that he had bought into media lies and expressed regret for his past remarks. He acknowledged that he, of all people, should have understood Trump's appeal.
Trump agreed, noting that Vance, having written "Hillbilly Elegy," should have supported him. Trump implied that Vance's book, which focused on the struggles of the white working class, aligned with the sentiments of Trump's base—non-college-educated voters angry about globalization, immigration, and foreign wars.

Barron Trump's height has been a topic of debate, even within his family. Donald Trump has mentioned different figures, sometimes claiming Barron is 6 feet 7 inches tall and other times 6 feet 8 inches. These variations might be due to differences in measurement methods, but it's also notable given Donald Trump's history of exaggerating his own height. Whether he's boasting, downplaying, or genuinely uncertain about Barron's height, the fact remains that Barron is exceptionally tall. His mother Melania Trump is 5 feet 11 inches tall.
