Usha Vance becomes new second lady of the United States

Usha Vance, the new second lady of the United States, is the wife of JD Vance, Donald Trump's running mate. Born to Indian immigrants, she is a Yale Law School graduate and a mother of three. Her background contrasts with some of Trump's supporters' views. While Usha Vance has remained largely private, she has occasionally spoken about her husband and their family life. She has faced scrutiny due to her Indian heritage, which has drawn racist comments from some far-right individuals. JD Vance has defended her against these attacks. The role of the vice president's spouse has evolved, with expectations for public engagement and advocacy. Usha Vance's political views remain unclear, as she has shifted from being a registered Democrat to supporting her husband’s campaign.
