Will the current vice president, JD Vance, attend the funeral of the late Pope, Francis?

JD is a Catholic and recently visited with the pope on Easter.

The Pope has a large, public funeral that many Catholics attempt to attend as a form of pilgrimage.

This market will resolve YES if evidence of JD Vance attending the funeral is found two days after the funeral. This market will resolve NO otherwise. This market will also resolve NO if JD attends as president of the United States, and not as vice president.

Too late now but I saw a picture of him like what seemed to suggest he was sitting way at the back on Have I Got Some News For You. It is on YT

@JussiVilleHeiskanen I went off of this, which mentioned him but did not mention his attendance.

I am genuinely confused why so many people think yes to this. I made this market as basically a coin flip without any background knowledge, I'm curious what y'all are thinking.

@Alex231a I also thought it was basically a coin flip, so I bought because it was below 50.

@Alex231a I thought it Yes because VPs used to go to funerals frequently and Vance is Catholic. I sold as soon as Trump’s intent to attend was rumored.
