WATCH: Primanti Bros Explains “Momentary Confusion” Barring J.D. Vance From Entering PA Restaurant
Vice Presidential candidate J.D. Vance was barred from going into a Pennsylvania restaurant on Saturday, according to social media posts on X (formerly Twitter)
The restaurant, identified as Primanti Bros.–which has 44 locations in and around Pennsylvania–allegedly did not allow Vance into the restaurant.
“When Vance arrived, he was reportedly told he wasn’t allowed to leave his car because the restaurant didn’t want a ‘campaign event,” according to NBC.

“Vance ended up staying in the parking lot and meeting with supporters,” Collin Rugg posted on X. “He also paid for their tabs.”
.@primantibros refused to let @JDVance in to their restaurant full of customers waiting to greet him. They all paid for their drinks, cancelled their food orders and left after hearing that VP candidate was not welcome.
