The Republican National Convention is taking place in Milwaukee. “It’s hard to imagine a more powerful example of the American dream: a boy from Middletown, Ohio, raised by his grandmother in difficult times and chosen to lead our country through some of its greatest challenges.” This is in stark contrast about the tragic childhood story of JD and his sister Lindsay.
But make no mistake – Usha has undergone quite a metamorphosis herself. As the child of Indian immigrants who grew up in a middle-class neighborhood, registered as a Democrat, and was even described as leaning politically left during her time at Yale, Usha’s transformation has definitely turned heads.
Friends claim Usha Vance is ‘appalled by Trump’
Apparently Donald J. Trump thwarted Usha Vance. Now her husband is running to be his right-hand man. The story goes that in July, an unidentified former friend of Usha came forward and told the Washington Post that Usha found the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol “deeply disturbing” and that she was “generally appalled by Trump.” Fast forward to 2024, and suddenly Usha’s alleged disdain for Trump has completely disappeared. “At first I thought, ‘She can’t like this and she’ll divorce JD in time,'” a former pal recalled to The Cut. “Then I saw her at the Republican National Convention and thought, ‘Could she actually be on board?'”

Still, Jai Chabria, a family friend of the Vances who also served as a strategist for JD during his Senate campaign, called Usha’s about-face simply a “viewpoint change” similar to what her former Never-Trumper husband underwent. He further told the Post that Usha “fully supports Donald Trump and her husband and will do everything to ensure their victory in November,” duly noted.
Usha Vance reportedly planned to vote for Hillary Clinton in 2016
Usha Vance for Hillary Clinton?! All Trump vitriol aside, there are rumors that Usha Vance was actually smitten with Hillary Clinton – particularly during the 2016 US presidential election. An unnamed friend of the Vances even told the Daily Beast that JD had told them that Usha planned to vote for Clinton this year.
Unfortunately, Clinton doesn’t seem too keen on returning the favor for Usha’s husband in the 2024 elections. Following Vance’s remark about “childless cat ladies” (e.g., JD Vance’s underbelly), Clinton lamented in a CNN interview that JD’s views on child care are “just not consistent with what’s going on in life and work career.” What’s going on with people.” Majority of Americans.” She added: “It’s almost impossible to understand his worldview. Where does he comes from? Where does he get these ideas from?”
Usha Vance is a mother of three children
Courtroom to “Romper Room” While some Millennial women choose to be what JD Vance so eloquently called “childless cat ladies,” his working attorney Usha Vance plunged headfirst into motherhood. Yes, that’s right. When she’s not responding to the rumors that JD is wearing eyeliner, she’s busy being a mom.
In 2017, just three years after tying the knot, the Vances welcomed their first child, a son named Ewan. Usha later famously spoke about JD’s “overarching ambition to become a husband and father and to build the kind of close-knit family he longed for as a child” during her speech at the 2024 Republican National Convention. As of 2024, the couple has three children together, all of whom are under eight years old.

Unfortunately, JD found himself in great embarrassment when he randomly signaled that it was Usha who was ultimately tasked with raising said children. When he spoke to The New York Times in October about his conversion to Catholicism, he lamented that Usha didn’t necessarily “sign up for weekly church attendance” when she married him. “She has three children,” he noted. “Of course I help with the kids, but because I’m the one who goes to church, so to speak, she feels more responsible for keeping the kids quiet in church,” he added cautiously. We’ll file this under “So Many Weird Things About JD and Usha Vance’s Marriage.”
Usha Vance has relaxed her healthy diet with her family in mind
Speaking of the Vance children: Usha Vance also seems to have relaxed her strict diet of healthy vegetarian and Indian food a bit – at least as far as the children are concerned. In July, the PatriotTakes account on X, formerly known as Twitter, posted a clip of the family at a diner. As the footage shows, the kids sipped chocolate milk while Vance ordered 12 cinnamon rolls to take out. At some point he took a look at the breakfast pastries and remarked kindly: “Oh, those are big cinnamon rolls!”
The unlikely husband-wife duo grew up with different worlds when it came to food – a topic JD has never shied away from discussing. “We rarely cook, even though it is cheaper and better for the body and soul,” he wrote in his memoir “Hillbilly Elegy,” noting that his early diet consisted mostly of trips to the drive-thru and heaping helpings of Hamburger Helper . (Never forget: “One pan, one pound, one happy family.” Even those closest to the couple are aware of their dietary differences. “JD’s upbringing definitely introduced him to some of the worst foods in the world, with “The most preservative-rich foods in the world,” a friend of the couple, Rob McDonald, told the New York Times in July. “Usha certainly doesn’t follow that mindset in her diet.”
Usha Vance has given up her long-standing career
Shortly after Donald Trump announced that he had chosen JD Vance as his running mate for the 2024 US presidential election, Usha Vance had news of her own: She was stepping down from her long-standing career as a corporate litigator. “In light of today’s news, I have resigned from my position at Munger, Tolles & Olson to focus on taking care of our family,” she told SFGATE in a statement. “I am forever grateful for the opportunities I have had at Munger and the outstanding colleagues and friends I have worked with over the years.”
Usha previously admitted in an interview with Fox & Friends in June that she wasn’t exactly “eager to make changes in her life.” But she quickly and carefully added, “But I really believe in JD and I really love him, and so we’ll just see what happens with our lives. “We’re open.”
While the news likely shocked many, perhaps even her employers at Munger, Tolles & Olson, who told SFGATE on July 15, “Usha has informed us that she has decided to leave the company,” others may have seen the resignation coming see. In the past, JD has been very open about his mother-in-law’s decision to put her own career as a biology professor on hold to focus on helping them care for their first child. “She lived with us for a year,” he gushed on an episode of “The Portal.”
