Catholic vice president pushes back against those who are framing his desire as disrespectful.
JD Vance hopes that his wife Usha one day becomes a Christian — and is pushing back against those who are framing his desire as disrespectful.
The vice president, who is a convert to Catholicism, took to social media on Oct. 31 to defend his wish, shared publicly at a speaking event two days earlier, that his Hindu-raised wife would one day come to “believe in the Christian Gospel.”
“My Christian faith tells me the Gospel is true and is good for human beings,” Vance said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. “[Usha] is not a Christian and has no plans to convert, but like many people in an interfaith marriage — or any interfaith relationship — I hope she may one day see things as I do.”
“Regardless, I’ll continue to love and support her and talk to her about faith and life and everything else, because she’s my wife,” wrote Vance. The vice president, who met his wife at Yale Law School when they both identified as agnostics, added that Usha is “the most amazing blessing” in his life, adding that she encouraged him to reengage with his own faith “many years ago.”
