U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance were booed by a crowd as they attended a concert in Washington, D.C. They were jeered by those who watched the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts on Thursday.

FILE: U.S. Vice President JD Vance arrives for a House Republican Conference meeting at the U.S. Capitol on March 11, 2025, in Washington, D.C. Republicans met ahead of the House vote on a continuing resolution that will provide a six-month funding extension and avert a government shutdown.
