J. D. Vance has the full support of his wife, Usha Vance, as they transition into their roles at the White House following Donald Trump’s tenure as the 47th president of the United States. J. D. currently serves as the Vice President, while Usha holds the position of Second Lady.
Usha has been a visible presence at various campaign events and the 2025 inauguration, sparking public interest in her background, career, and more. One of her most notable moments came when she defended J. D.’s controversial 2021 Fox News comment about “childless cat ladies,” which resurfaced during the 2024 election.
In a 2024 interview on Fox News, Usha explained, “I took a moment to look and actually see what he had said and try to understand what the context was. Because what he was really saying is that it can be really hard to be a parent in this country. And sometimes our policies are designed in a way that makes it even harder.”
The original comment by J. D. Vance, as reported by NPR, stated: “And so, they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too. And it’s just a basic fact. You look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]. The entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children. And how does it make any sense that we’ve turned our country over to people who don’t really have a direct stake in it? I just wanted to ask that question and propose that maybe if we want a healthy ruling class in this country, we should invest more, we should vote more. We should support more people who actually have kids, because those are the people who ultimately have a more direct stake in the future of this country.”
