Usha Vance said that when she was first asked to introduce her husband, vice presidential nominee JD Vance, at the Republican National Convention, she was "at a loss." What could she add to the Ron Howard movie that had already been made about his life and his own bestselling memoir?

The two met at Yale Law School when "he was fresh out of Ohio State, which he attended with the support of the GI Bill," Usha Vance said.
