The Second Lady, who mostly stays away from interviews, sat down for an interview recently with conservative podcaster Meghan McCain. In the interview, Usha Vance described her time in the White House, what it’s like to raise a family, and how she and JD manage a household while both having different faiths. Usha told McCain that after they got married, Vance converted to Catholicism, which is in contrast to her Hindu faith. She noted she has no plans to convert.

The conversation also offered a glimpse into the Vance family’s world, from their love of Ohio to the vice president’s talent as an “excellent, amazing baker,” and Usha’s reliance on a group chat of friends for style advice. Second lady Usha Vance has largely kept a low speaking profile while in office, with Wednesday’s Citizen McCain with Meghan McCain podcast episode offering insight into the couple and family as a whole. McCain, who praised Usha Vance several times during the interview and used the conversation to announce her pregnancy and seek parenting advice, did not vote for the Republican ticket led by Donald Trump and JD Vance in November 2024. Instead, she wrote in her late father, Senator John McCain, who was the previous Republican nominee for president in 2008. When Vance converted to Catholicism, “we had to have a lot of real conversations,” Usha, who is Hindu, and told McCain that she is “not intending to convert,” she said. When asked how the couple manages both faiths and presents them to their children, Usha said they offer their children the opportunities to explore both religions and make their own decisions. “We send our kids to Catholic school and have given them each the choice,” she noted. Their oldest child, Ewan, has decided to be baptized Catholic. Usha says attending church is “a family experience,” even though her kids know she is not Catholic. “They have plenty of access to Hindu tradition – from books that we give them to things that we show them to the visit recently to India and some of the religious elements of that visit.” The family travelled together to India in April, visiting historic sites such as the Taj Mahal among others. In addition, Usha says the children have access to learning about Hinduism through their relatives, telling McCain, “My grandmother is a particularly devout Hindu.” Watch the full interview here:
