Donald Trump has chosen JD Vance, a Republican Senator from Ohio, to be his running mate in the upcoming US Presidential election. This decision has put Usha Chilukuri Vance, JD Vance’s wife, in the spotlight.

Usha has worked with Supreme Court Justices John Roberts and Brett Kavanaugh. She was born in California to parents from Andhra Pradesh, India.

Trump’s announcement of JD Vance as his running mate has generated interest in Usha’s background and potential role. She has spoken about her belief in JD Vance’s dedication to public service and improving people’s lives, attributing her strong values to her Hindu upbringing.
JD Vance, born in Middletown, Ohio, had a challenging childhood due to his father’s absence and his mother’s struggles with addiction. He was mainly raised by his grandparents.
