This past week, Vice President-elect JD Vance invited subway hero Daniel Penny to attend the game, as highlighted by The Daily Wire.
“Daniel’s a good guy, and New York’s mob district attorney tried to ruin his life for having a backbone,” Vance wrote on X. “I’m grateful he accepted my invitation and hope he’s able to have fun and appreciate how much his fellow citizens admire his courage.”
