Usha Vance shares her thoughts on becoming First Lady with Meghan McCain

With J.D. Vance stretching out a convincing lead in the polls for the 2028 presidential race, Usha Vance shared her thoughts with Meghan McCain on becoming First Lady of the United States.

The former “View” co-host interviewed the Second Lady for her Citizen McCain YouTube show, and Usha told her that the last few years have been such an unexpected whirlwind that it’s taught her not to make plans.

The attorney described the sudden sequence of events from the time in 2022 when then-author and Bay Area venture capitalist J.D. announced his Senate run, through his win as VEEP last November.

“Three years ago — maybe four years ago at this point — I had absolutely no intention of leading any sort of life in politics,” Usha said in the sit-down at the Vice Presidential residence at One Observatory Circle in Washington D.C.

“It really is that rapid. And then when we moved our kids to school in this area, it was with no intention whatsoever of JD running for a new office, and so my attitude is that this is a four-year period where I have a set of responsibilities to my family, to myself, and obviously to the country, and that’s really what I’m focused on. I’m not plotting out next steps or really trying for anything after this.”

According to Newsweek, a McLaughlin and Associates poll out last week showed that “Vance leads [the prospective Republican field for 2028] with 36 percent support, more than doubling [Donald Trump Jr’s] 14 percent.”

The Vice President has not yet said whether he plans to run to succeed Donald Trump Sr.
