Vice-President-elect J.D. Vance underwent a planned minor surgery on Friday after the Senate swearing-in ceremony.

“The Vice President-elect is having long-planned, minor sinus surgery and will be back at work tomorrow,” Vance Spokesperson William Martin, according to Fox News.

Daily Mail reports:

JD Vance was hospitalized for a minor sinus surgery after he attended the Senate swearing-in ceremony Friday.

Vance was there to support newly elected Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno just weeks before he replaces Kamala Harris after Donald Trump defeated her in the November presidential election.

It was reported, however, that Vance had been hospitalized following the swearing-in ceremony, which Harris presided over.

A spokesperson for Vance confirmed to Fox News that this was no emergency and a surgery the vice president-elect had on the books for some time.

“I was proud to stand with @berniemoreno and @DaveMcCormickPA as they were sworn in to the US Senate. Congrats to them and to all of our new senators!” Vance said.

From the New York Post:

The surgery reportedly took place at George Washington University Hospital in Washington, DC.

The Trump transition team did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

The medical procedure comes with less than three weeks to go before Vance is sworn-in as vice president on Jan. 20, when President-elect Donald Trump is inaugurated.

At 40 years old, Vance will become the youngest vice president since Richard Nixon took office in 1953, also at age 40.
