Vice President JD Vance’s security detail had an Ohio river’s water level raised last weekend to accommodate a kayaking trip he and his family took for his 41st birthday.

"The Secret Service often employs protective measures without the knowledge of the Vice President or his staff, as was the case last weekend," a spokesman for Vance said

A request from Vice President JD Vance led to a temporary rise of the Ohio River water levels to accommodate his family vacation.
