Usha Vance wants a normal life. Is that possible for a VP's spouse?

Second lady Usha Vance talks about her life and marriage to Vice President JD Vance in an exclusive interview with USA TODAY.

Usha Vance, the second lady, discusses her shift from a legal career to life in the vice presidential residence, the public scrutiny she faces, her family life, and her planned literacy initiative as her signature focus.

WASHINGTON – Usha Vance misses plenty about her old life.

She loved being a lawyer and had aspirations beyond working at a firm. She dreams of one day returning to Cincinnati and the home she shared with her husband, JD Vance, and their three children before he became vice president. She says that’s their long-term plan.

That’s also not to say she doesn’t enjoy being second lady — she does. And quitting her job came with perks. She’s reading long books and has developed a fitness routine.
