JD Vance Admits Wife Usha ‘Has Never Loved Politics’ as He Weighs Potential 2028 Presidential Run
Vice President JD Vance is sharing how his family, including his wife, Usha Vance, influence his decision about whether to run for president of the United States in 2028.
On Saturday, October 17, the politician, 42, participated in a CBS News town hall in Michigan and admitted, “Of course there’s a chance” he wouldn’t run for the country’s highest office.
“We’ve got four little kids, my wife has never loved politics,” JD said. “She loves public service.”
The husband-wife duo share sons Ewan, 9, Vivek, 6, and 3-month-old Alec, and daughter Mirabel, 4.
“The way that I think about life, big life decisions — my wife will tell you this: I’m a procrastinator,” JD further confessed. “I hate thinking about it.”
As Globe previously reported, Usha, 40, was asked about how she feels about JD potentially running for president in an August sit-down interview with Fox News.
“My way of thinking about it is we just take things one step at a time,” the mom of four stated. “Right now, that step is he’s really focused on the midterms.”
“For me, it’s being focused on the things that I get to do during this four-year period. And my attitude is just to have a kind of an open mind and open heart towards whatever might come next,” Usha noted. “I’ve seen us adapt to all sorts of things and all sorts of changes, so I know whatever it is that he feels is the right thing for him to do, we’re going to have a good time doing it. We will make the best of it in the best possible way.”
