Despite their differences, they married in 2014, blending Christian and Hindu traditions in their ceremonies. JD’s journey from author to politician has been marked by ideological evolution. Once a vocal critic of Donald Trump, he ultimately aligned with Trump’s policies, leading to his rise as a U.S. Senator and later Vice President. Usha, a highly accomplished attorney with clerkships under conservative justices and tenure at a progressive law firm, has remained largely private about her political leanings. While reports suggest she has shifted rightward, she has never publicly defined her stance. The couple’s differences have been scrutinized, with JD facing backlash for controversial remarks and Usha enduring racist attacks. Still, JD has defended her, insisting criticism should be directed at him, not his wife.
Despite ideological divergences, they maintain a relationship built on dialogue and compromise, as Usha has acknowledged, stating they frequently come to “different conclusions” but engage in “a pretty happy” discussion. As Second Lady, Usha brings a historic presence to the White House as the first Indian American and first Hindu in the role. While JD’s policy decisions reflect his nationalist conservatism, Usha’s background may provide a moderating influence. Their relationship is a reflection of modern political marriages—defined by both ideological contrast and unwavering personal support. How these dynamics unfold in the vice presidency remains to be seen.
