As per The List, ever since JD Vance became the VP, he has been scrutinized by the tabloids with many unwanted controversies. However, Usha has been his rock since day one and stood by him by holding his hand or giving him a sweet peck to show support.
For instance, in September 2024, JD faced backlash for supporting activist Laura Loomer’s racist remarks. They were reportedly targeted toward Kamala Harris’ Indian roots. However, despite Usha being an Indian herself, she stood by his side during the next rally and shared a kiss to showcase support before he took the spotlight on the stage.
Usha’s captivating gaze towards JD Vance is noticeable
If you have noticed the couple together, then it’s evident that Usha’s stare towards her husband has caught the spotlight. In January 2025, during the swearing-in ceremony at the presidential inauguration, as JD took the oath of office, his wife looked at him with immense pride, support, and respect.
As per The List, even people on social media noticed it and wrote about it on X ( formerly Twitter). “That pride in Usha Vance! Vance is a blessed soul. Every man’s life will become blessed with a devoted wife like her.”
