J.D. Vance, Breaking the Beard Barrier
  + stars: | 2024-07-18 | by ( Vanessa Friedman | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Not to mention the first millennial on a major party ticket. One unmistakable detail that — in the style of his running mate, Donald J. Trump — not only upended modern political wisdom, but broke a longstanding political taboo. The last bearded man elected president of the United States was Benjamin Harrison, in 1888. The last vice president with a mustache was Charles Curtis, who was Herbert Hoover’s veep. And the last major party candidate to try to break that clean-shaven streak was Thomas E. Dewey, who had a dapper little caterpillar on his upper lip and ran, unsuccessfully, for the highest office in 1944 and 1948.
