Usha Vance is the wife of JD Vance who was presidential front runner Donald Trump's choice for vice president if he won the polls in November.
Born and raised in the suburbs of San Diego, California, Mrs. Vance, née Chilukuri, is the daughter of Indian immigrants.
According to the New York Times, the two first connected as Yale Law School students in 2013 when they joined a discussion group on "social decline in white America."
According to her LinkedIn profile, Mrs. Vance holds an MPhil in early modern history from Cambridge University, where she was a Gates Scholar after earning a BA in history from Yale University.
She was once a clerk on the District of Columbia court of appeals for Brett Kavanaugh, who is currently a justice on the Supreme Court.
She then worked as Chief Justice John Roberts' clerk on the Supreme Court. The conservative majority on the top court includes both men.
The material included in Vance's best-selling 2016 novel, Hillbilly Elegy, about his upbringing in the white working-class Rust Belt, served as inspiration for Ron Howard's 2020 film adaptation of the book.
After getting married in 2014, the pair had three kids: a daughter named Mirabel and two sons named Ewan and Vivek.
