Wife of Trump’s VP pick is Yale law graduate, daughter of Indian immigrants

By immigrationprof

Voice of America provides background on Usha Vance, whose husband, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, has been picked as Donald Trump’s running mate for the 2 presidential election:

“The 38-year-old Yale Law School graduate and daughter of Indian immigrants was registered as a Democrat in 2014 but began voting in the Republican primaries in 2022, according to public records. . . . 

After graduation, Usha Vance worked as a law clerk for Judge Brett Kavanaugh, during his time as a Washington appeals court judge. She then went on to work as a law clerk for Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.”

Most recently, Usha Vance worked as a litigator for the law firm of Munger, Tolles & Olson.  She left the firm after the announcement that her husband would be on the Republican presidential ticket.
