Vice President Mike Pence retained a relatively low-profile since his boss' election loss to President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris last month. While President Donald Trump has assailed the vote as fraudulent—without any evidence—Vice President Pence tried to avoid rocking the boat.
Among his few appearances was a speech at a "Protect The Majority" rally in Georgia on behalf of embattled GOP Senators Kelly Loeffler and Dave Perdue. The appearance grabbed a lot of attention, but not for the reason the Vice President likely would have hoped.
When Vice President Pence exited Air Force Two, he ran to the podium while clapping to the beat of Free's "All Right Now".
And the result was, well, we'll let you see for yourself.

Others joked about the Mike Pence as Donald Trump's cheerleader vibes.

And many thought he was trying to emulate President-elect Joe Biden's jog to the podium the night he made his victory speech.

@therecount Hes only doing this because Biden jogs on stage. He wants to show his vigor.— MiCHAEL REYNA (@MiCHAEL REYNA) 1607647810.0
Unsurprisingly, there were also jokes with many harkening back to the aerobics craze of the 80s...
