Vance stuns crowd, says he hopes his Hindu wife Usha Vance will 'eventually’ embrace Christianity

At a fiery Turning Point USA town hall at the University of Mississippi, U.S. Vice President JD Vance faced a tough, emotional question from a college student, about immigration, identity, and faith. The student pressed Vance on his interfaith marriage to Usha Vance, who identifies as Hindu, asking how the couple balances faith and culture while raising their children Christian and why he supports policies seen as anti-immigrant despite being part of an immigrant family himself. In a candid and composed response, Vance defended his immigration stance, saying America must lower future immigration levels while respecting those who came legally. He also opened up about his family’s interfaith dynamic, revealing that he and Usha had “made an arrangement” to raise their three children Christian, adding that “faith is about free will” and that his wife often joins him in church.
