Second Lady Usha Vance has spoken about her relationship with Vice President JD Vance, stating that they don't always see eye to eye on every issue but that the room for disagreement creates space for "open-minded" conversations. Speaking ahead of the launch of her podcast, "Storytime With the Second Lady," she said that she considers herself a trusted adviser to her husband, especially when he takes a personal issue that is personal. She also mentioned her shift from being a Democrat to voting Republican and her husband's expected presidential bid. Despite speculation about his political prospects, Vance said that they're not a priority in their private conversations.
