Usha Chilukuri Vance, whose family moved abroad 50 years back and hails from Andhra Pradesh, is set to become the first non-white Second Lady of the US. Born and raised in suburban San Diego, Usha Chilukuri Vance is the wife of Donald Trump's running mate, J.D. Vance. Usha Vance’s story is representative of the growing Indian-American community, with the U.S. census showing that Indians are the country’s second-largest Asian ethnic group.
During a rally, Donald Trump praised JD Vance and his wife, saying, "I want to be the first to congratulate – now I can say Vice President-elect J.D. Vance. And his remarkable and beautiful wife, Usha Vance."
Trump also described Vance as a "feisty guy," with both J.D. and Usha present alongside Trump’s wife, Melania, on stage.
Usha Vance hails from Vadluru, a village in Andhra Pradesh, India. Her family moved abroad over 50 years ago and has since contributed to the village by donating land for temples like the Sai Baba, Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy, and Goddess Bala Seeta temples, which were built for the village's welfare.
Usha Vance is a Yale Law School graduate. She met her husband, J.D. Vance, at Yale Law School, and the couple married in 2014. They have three children together.
