Vance Defends Remarks on Second Lady’s Religion

  • At a Turning Point USA event at the University of Mississippi on October 29, 2025, Vice President J.D. Vance said he hopes Second Lady Usha Vance might one day share his Christian faith as their children are raised in that religion.
  • Usha explained, `When I met JD, he wasn't Catholic, and he converted later,` as they agreed to raise their three children Catholic while she recently identified as Hindu.
  • Vance pushed back, arguing a social-media critic's remark was disgusting and reflects anti-Christian bigotry, adding his Christian faith leads him to share beliefs openly without coercion.
  • Indian-American commentators noted Indian-American critics accused Vance of dismissing Hinduism, while the episode reignited broader US public debate on faith and identity in multicultural relationships.
  • On Friday, Vance clarified Usha Vance has no plans to convert, though observers said the remark fuels divorce rumors and awkward public moments in 2025.
