JD Vance at Olympics in Milan
JD Vance at the opening ceremony of the 2026 Winter Olympics. In Milan’s San Siro Stadium on Feb. 6, when U.S. Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha were shown on the big screen during the parade of nations, parts of the crowd loudly booed and jeered — even as Team USA received strong cheers earlier. The boos were clearly heard on some international broadcasts and in the stadium itself, though U.S. broadcaster NBC’s coverage initially downplayed or didn’t include the crowd reaction. The reaction reflected broader political tensions particularly around U.S. immigration policies and drew responses from IOC officials and political leaders. JD Vance at Milan Olympics
