Usha Vance lifts the curtain on husband JD Vance, calls him the ‘funniest guy’ in real life

WASHINGTON, DC: Usha Vance couldn’t help but rave about her husband, Vice President JD Vance, describing a side of him most Americans don’t get to see.

Speaking on Fox News on Saturday, April 4, the Second Lady, 40, sat down with anchor Kayleigh McEnany and was asked, "What’s something that we don’t know that you want America to know about your husband?"

"It's hard because he's written a book... he's written a lot of speeches," Vance responded. "There are so many misconceptions about him. He is just the nicest, funniest guy. He makes everything an adventure. He's really just a wonderful person to be around. And our children, our family has so much joy because he is a part of it. And I wish that people saw more of that."

Behind the podium, she painted a picture of a family man who brings energy and a fair bit of humor into their home life.

Usha Vance is ‘not a hat lady’

The glowing praise comes on the heels of a week that saw Usha Vance fielding attention about her MAGA credentials.

During a March 30 appearance on Today, she was asked by NBC’s Kate Snow whether she owned any MAGA gear tied to President Donald Trump.

"Um... I don't really own any hats. I think I have a, uh, a Disneyland hat, I wanna say. Not a hat lady," she responded.

Snow didn’t push further. "Ok, gotcha, yeah, not everybody is a hat person," she acknowledged. 

Usha Vance expands on her role

In the same interview with Snow, Vance stressed that she isn’t part of her husband’s official machinery and doesn’t pretend to be. “I’m not his staffer. I’m not involved in this in any professional sense... There’s no expectation that we are going to see eye to eye on everything,” she said.

Instead, she described a relationship that was rooted in conversation. “The expectation is that we are going to be open-minded and have a conversation, and that I’ll provide meaningful input from, you know, the perspective of someone who loves him and wants him to succeed. So even if we don’t agree, it’s — I think it’s always very productive," Vance explained.

According to her, those conversations are constant. “There are conversations all the time,” Usha Vance said. “I do really like to understand what’s going on in his world, what he’s really focused on, what concerns he has, because it’s a marriage. I mean, I want to be supportive of him, and if I don’t really know what’s going on, then I can’t do that.” 

While the Vice President has no shortage of policy advisers, she hinted that some matters stay closer to home. JD turns to her “when he really wants to talk through something that feels more, kind of, intensely personal or important personally," she said.

Once a registered Democrat until at least 2014, she later backed Republicans during her husband’s Senate run. However, Vance insists she’s never felt boxed in by party lines.

“I do feel very comfortable in that no one has ever asked me to engage in any kind of litmus test on anything. And what I’ve found is that I was myself in 2014. I can be myself today. And I feel very comfortable in that world,” she said.
