Usha Vance has been by JD Vance’s side through all his introductions to the American people – as a bestselling author, a senator and the Republican VP nominee.
JD Vance has had several introductions to the American people: as the author of a memoir on what ails the White working class, as a newly elected Republican senator in his home state of Ohio and, on Monday, as his party’s nominee for vice president. His wife, Usha, has been by his side through it all. As the Ohio delegation chanted her husband’s name on the Republican convention floor in Milwaukee, Usha Vance stood beside the first-term senator and applauded as he was nominated by voice vote to be Donald Trump’s running mate. Weeks earlier, the trial lawyer and former judicial clerk admitted she wasn’t “raring” to completely upend the life she and her husband had built together or to face the attention that would follow. “I don’t know that anyone is ever ready for that kind of scrutiny,” she told Fox News last month during a joint interview with the senator at their home in Ohio. “I think we found the first campaign that he embarked on to be a shock. It was so different from anything we’d ever done before. But it was an adventure.” She added that she was open to seeing how things unfolded.
