Usha Vance, the second lady of the United States, recently shared her thoughts on the prospect of becoming the first lady in 2028.
During a conversation with Meghan McCain on the podcast "Citizen McCain," she revealed that while people often inquire about the possibility, it is not a primary concern for her at this time. "People do ask about it," she admitted, reflecting on the curiosity surrounding her husband, Vice President JD Vance, and his potential presidential ambitions.
As reported by Fox News, Usha Vance acknowledged the possibility of her husband running for the nation's highest office. However, she emphasized that her move to the Washington area was made without any intention of contemplating his political future. Interestingly, she noted that her involvement in politics was not something she foresaw four years ago.
For now, her focus remains firmly on her current responsibilities. "My attitude is that this is a four-year period where I have a set of responsibilities to my family, to myself, to obviously the country and that's really what I'm focused on," she stated. "I'm not plotting out next steps or really trying for anything after this."
Usha Vance expressed a desire to eventually return to her home and continue her career, though she remains open to the timing of such a transition. "In a dream world, eventually Ill be able to live in my home and kind of continue my career and all those sorts of things," she said. "And if that happens in four years, I understand. If that happens in some other point in the future, I understand. Just sort of along for the ride and enjoying it while I can."
Vice President JD Vance, a prominent figure within the Republican Party, is widely regarded as a leading contender for the GOP's presidential nomination in 2028. Despite this, he has not yet declared his candidacy.
In an exclusive interview with Lawrence Jones on "Fox & Friends," Vance conveyed a similar sentiment to his wife, stating, "I really am just not focused on politics. I'm not focused on the midterm elections in 2026, much less the presidential election in 2028. When we get to that point, I'll talk to the president. We'll figure out what we want to do." He further added, "The way I think about it is, if we do a good job, the politics take care of themselves."
The Vances' approach reflects a commitment to their current roles and responsibilities, with an eye on the future that remains open to possibilities. Their focus on the present, rather than future political ambitions, underscores a dedication to serving the nation and their family.
