Illustration by Elizabeth Brockway/The Daily BeastJD Vance couldn’t find his wife. It was January 2023 and he had just been sworn in by Vice President Kamala Harris as the junior senator from Ohio, in front of a group of family and friends. “You guys have to tell her that I gave this incredibly emotional set of remarks about her,” he jokedAs if on cue, Usha Vance, then a practicing lawyer at a white-shoe firm, entered into the room, pushing one of the couple’s three children in a stroller. JD’s face lit up. He pointed in her direction, seizing upon his wife’s sacrifices.“The thing that I’ll say about running for office that a lot of you know very well is that it takes an incredible toll on family,” the author-turned-MAGA-firebrand continued. “I am going to try to not get too emotional here, but just say to get to represent the people of Ohio in the United States Senate is a dream come true for me, and I wouldn’t be here without Usha. So thank you, honey, from the bottom of my heart.”Read more at The Daily Beast.

JD Vance, the junior senator from Ohio, owes much of his success to his wife, Usha Vance, a former lawyer. Usha, a registered Democrat, has supported JD's political career while maintaining a low profile. The couple met at Yale Law School and have navigated the challenges of JD's conservative politics together. Usha assisted in crafting JD's campaign speeches and stands by him despite negative press. Her experience clerking for Brett Kavanaugh has influenced her approach to political scrutiny. Despite their wealth and lifestyle, Usha's loyalty to JD remains steadfast amid the political storm.
