Usha Vance Becomes 1st Indian-American Second Lady

U.S. President Donald Trump has said that he would have chosen Usha Chilukuri Vance, J.D. Vance's wife, as his Vice President as "she is smarter but the line of succession did not work that way".

Ms. Usha, 39, on Monday (January 21, 2025), became the first Indian-American and Hindu Second Lady after her husband J.D. was sworn in as the 50th Vice President of the U.S.

On Monday, wearing a pink coat, she held the Bible in one hand and their daughter Mirabel Rose in the other, as Mr. Vance placed his left hand on the religious text, and raising his right hand took the oath of office.
