Usha's Impact on JD's Political Journey
Usha Vance, the wife of Republican candidate JD Vance, has played a significant role in his political rise. The two met at Yale Law School, and Ms. Vance has been a constant source of support and guidance for her husband.
Usha, who is the child of Indian immigrants and was raised in San Diego, clerked for Chief Justice John G. Roberts. She has also worked as a corporate lawyer and a law professor. In her book, "Hillbilly Elegy," JD Vance describes how Usha became his "Yale spirit guide," helping him navigate the culture and expectations of his newfound upper-class environment.
As JD Vance seeks the Republican nomination for vice president, Asian American political activists from both parties have expressed hope that Usha's presence on the campaign will increase representation and visibility for Asian Americans in politics.
