JD and Usha Vance on faith and family
The vice president says his 2019 conversion shaped his marriage and politics, while the couple discusses raising three children and expecting a fourth.
- On Tuesday, Vice President JD Vance publishes his second book, "Communion," chronicling his 2019 conversion to Catholicism and its profound effect on his personal life, politics, and 11-year marriage.
- Vance attributes his search for something "rooted" and "grounded" to his tumultuous upbringing in Middletown, Ohio, where his parents divorced when he was a toddler and his mother struggled with substance abuse.
- Second Lady Usha Vance told CBS Sunday Morning that "church does" provide the trust her husband lacked in therapy; the couple, married 11 years, is expecting their fourth child in weeks.
- Vance argues his Catholic faith shapes his political views on prioritizing families and limiting migration, though church leaders scrutinized his 2025 invocation of medieval Catholic theology to justify immigration policies.
- Analysts suggest the memoir allows Vance to establish an independent political identity as a potential 2028 presidential contender while remaining loyal to President Donald Trump, who is constitutionally barred from a third term.
