As a committed husband and father, balancing his professional and personal duties, JD Vance consistently acknowledges Usha’s pivotal role in supporting his career.
“I’m one of those guys who really benefits from having sort of a powerful female voice over his left shoulder saying, ‘Don’t do that, do that,’” he shared in his 2020 interview with The Megyn Kelly Show.
“Usha definitely brings me back to earth,” Mr. Vance added, “If I get a little too cocky or a little too proud, I just remind myself that she’s way more accomplished than I.”
