"Vance said that his wife grew up in a Hindu household but not a particularly religious family and noted that when he met his wife they would have both considered themselves agnostic or atheist. Vance converted to Catholicism in his 30s after being raised in a loosely evangelical family. He was baptized into the church in 2019 just as he started to become a prominent supporter of Donald Trump, who chose Vance as his running mate when he successfully ran for a second presidency in 2024."
"Our two kids go to Christian school. Our eight-year-old just did his first communion a year ago. That's how we decided to come to our arrangement, Vance said, to roaring applause. As I've told her, and as I've said publicly, and as I'll say now in front of 10,000 of my closest friends: do I hope, eventually, that she is somehow moved by the same thing I was moved by in"
JD Vance reaffirmed his hope that his wife, Usha, will eventually embrace Christianity, citing their decision to raise their children Christian. Usha grew up in a Hindu household that was not particularly religious, and both were formerly agnostic or atheist when they met. Vance converted to Catholicism in his 30s and was baptized in 2019 as his national political profile rose. Vance aligns his public policy views with Catholic social teaching. The couple’s two children attend Christian school, and their eight-year-old completed first communion last year. The remarks prompted political backlash in some quarters.
