Vice President JD Vance, 41, posted an eight-second Halloween clip that racked up over 4.1 million views on X alone, showing him in a long grey wig, silver robe and pointed hat as Dumbledore while cradling infant son Alec, born in July, dressed as house-elf Dobby with knitted ears. The video spread to TikTok and Instagram as critics piled in with sharp social media reactions.

'Holy s***: this dude will never be president,' one user wrote, while another predicted the internet would 'roast you the next couple of days.'

Vanity Fair reporter Pablo Manríquez joked Vance had actually dressed as Erika Kirk, widow of TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk.

The full family photo showed Second Lady Usha Vance in a sorting hat and eldest son Ewan as Harry Potter himself, with younger children Vivek and Mirabel dressed as a spider and a dragon.
