JD Vance Hopes Wife Usha Will Embrace Christianity
WASHINGTON, D.C. —Vice President JD Vance said he hopes his wife, Usha Vance, who was raised in a Hindu household in Southern California, will one day embrace Christianity — while emphasizing mutual respect and free will in their interfaith marriage.
Speaking at a Turning Point USA event at the University of Mississippi on October 29, Vance said, “Now, most Sundays Usha will come with me to church. As I’ve told her, and I’ve said publicly, and 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 that I was moved by in church? Yeah, I honestly do wish that because I believe in the Christian gospel, and I hope eventually my wife comes to see it the same way.”
He added that differences in faith do not cause conflict in their marriage. “But if she doesn’t, then God says everybody has free will, and so that doesn’t cause a problem for me,” he said. “That’s something you work out with your friends, with your family, with the person that you love.”
The Vice President, who converted to Catholicism in 2019, shared that neither he nor his wife were particularly religious when they met. “My wife did not grow up Christian. I think it’s fair to say that she grew up in a Hindu family but not a particularly religious family in either direction,” Vance said. “In fact, when I met my wife, I would consider myself an agnostic or an atheist, and that’s what I think she would have considered herself as well.”
The couple met while studying at Yale Law School and married in 2014, celebrating with both Christian and Hindu ceremonies. They have chosen to raise their children in the Christian faith.
Vance noted that his wife maintains her own connection with faith. “Usha’s closer to the priest who baptized me than maybe I am. They talk about this stuff,” he said. “My attitude is, you figure this stuff out as a family, and you trust in God to have a plan.”

Usha Vance has been an unwavering pillar of strength for her husband.She sacrificed her distinguished legal career to support his ambitions, bore him three children, and stood by him through every challenge. Yet, in a moment that demands unwavering defense of her dignity, Senator Vance chooses to cast her faith as a liability to be resolved. This isn’t leadership—it’s a profound betrayal, dressed in the guise of political expediency. It reeks of weak morals and a failure to protect the woman who has given everything for him.
October 31, 2025As a potential leader eyeing the Oval Office, Senator Vance is bending to the intolerant noise of the MAGA base, treating his wife’s Hindu heritage not as a cherished part of their family but as a ‘revulsive blot’ to be erased. This isn’t American values—it’s poor politics and reckless pandering that harasses and marginalizes faith communities. True leadership stands firm against division, defending dignity over division.

Vance is such a short-sighted Christian cuck. No different than an Islamist – two sides of the same hollow coin.
October 31, 2025Vance admits Usha is his “guiding light” – the light is from one’s morality and spirituality that is Hindu – Usha’s family are religious.
Vance gains from the “light” and now wants to snuff the “light” out – go figure that one out.
We live in the 21st century and these Abrahamic religions still live in the stone ages, selfishly prosletyzing in complete disrespect of the victim’s own existing values.
US CITIZENS OF HINDU, SIKH, JAIN & BUDDHIST ORIGIN SHOULD WISE UP AND EITHER AVOID VOTING – DEMOCRATS ARE PRO-ISLAMIST AND REPUBLICANS ARE WHITE CHRISTIAN RACISTS.

In response to recent statements made by Vice President JD Vance, at a Turning Point USA event, where he said he hoped his wife, a Hindu, “may one day see things as I do” on religion, HAF issued the following statement:
“With respect to the Vice President, if your wife encouraged you to re-engage with your faith, why not reciprocate that and engage with Hinduism too?
If you did you may well learn that Hinduism doesn’t share the need to wish your spouse comes around to see things as you do in terms of religion. Hinduism is inherently inclusive and pluralistic in this way. We do not seek to convert anyone. Yet, there remains a compulsion to convert us to another way of thinking, that goes beyond mere dialog and sharing of differing opinions.
There is also a history of Christians denigrating Hindus, attempting to convert Hindus through sometimes unethical means. In recent months we’ve seen an outpouring of anti-Hindu sentiment online, often coming from explicitly Christian sources.
Both of these underpin the sentiment that your statements re your wife’s religious heritage are reflective of a belief that there is only one true path to salvation — a concept that Hinduism simply doesn’t have — and that path is through Christ.
Some of the most vocal voices in your base seem to not actually believe religious freedom, one of the core concepts this nation was founded upon, as you well know, should extend to Hindus.
You are the VP. It’s more than reasonable (and well within precedent) for a Christian public figure such as yourself to acknowledge the positive impact of Hinduism on Hindus and the rights of Hindus to practice.”
