Beverly Aikins, JD Vance's mom, was hospitalized last month, but still plans to support her son at his inauguration.

Vice President-elect JD Vance invited them to play at the Inaugural Parade, which means it's crunch time for the Middletown High School Middies band. In just a few days, the marching band, cheerleaders, and color guard will head to Washington, D.C.

After JD Vance's mother's request and pressure from some residents, road signs honoring the vice president-elect will go up in his hometown.
