Watch: Usha Vance’s heartfelt reaction to husband JD Vance taking oath of office

Usha Chilukuri Vance, the wife of US Vice President JD Vance, proudly watched her husband take the oath of office on Monday, holding their daughter in her arms. Dressed in a bubblegum pink outfit, her beaming smile captured the attention of viewers, while her eyes stayed focused on JD Vance, who swore on the Bible.

This moment marked Usha’s entry as the first Indian-origin Second Lady of the United States. Her husband, JD Vance, took the oath as the 50th Vice President alongside Donald Trump, who was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States inside the Rotunda of the US Capitol.

Usha’s proud expression has since gone viral on social media.

Sharing the clip, an X user wrote, “Having a woman who looks into your eyes with the trust and faith that J.D. Vance’s wife, Usha, does is truly beautiful. It’s a wonderful day for such a lovely family.”
