Official portraits of President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance

President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team shared official portraits of Trump and Vice President-elect Vance just days before the inauguration.

Both bright portraits depict Republicans wearing blue suits, white-collared shirts and blue ties, with Trump wearing an American flag pin on his lapel.

Trump’s photo bears the same expression as he did in a photo from 2023, when he was being held in the Fulton County Jail on charges of trying to overturn his 2020 election loss to President Joe Biden in Georgia.

In Vance’s photo, the former U.S. senator from Ohio is smiling with his mouth closed and his arms crossed over his chest.

Trump’s chief photographer Daniel Torok first revealed the photos on Wednesday social media.
