RNC 2024 Day 2: Trump feted by former rivals Haley, DeSantis in show of GOP unity

J.D. Vance's wife, Usha Vance, has left her law firm following her husband being formally announced as former President Trump's running mate.

"Usha has informed us she has decided to leave the firm," a spokesperson for Munger, Tolles & Olsen said. "Usha has been an excellent lawyer and colleague, and we thank her for her years of work and wish her the best in her future career."

Usha had also previously clerked for Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh when he was a judge.

Trump spoke to ABC News about his running mate in a call shortly before J.D. Vance was formally solidified as the vice presidential nominee.

"I get along with him great," Trump said.

The former president acknowledged that Vance has said some negative things about him, but said of Vance, "Once he got to know me, he was all in."

Trump cited Vance's academic background, saying: "He's a very smart guy. Yale Law School -- real good intellect. His wife went to Yale, too."

Asked how he plans to use Vance in the campaign, Trump said he's "going to leave him in Pennsylvania," then added he will send him to Wisconsin and "a lot of other places where people are hurting."

Vice President Kamala Harris reached out to Sen. J.D. Vance and "left a message to congratulate him on his selection," a Biden-Harris campaign official said.

Harris also expressed her "hope that the two can meet in the vice presidential debate proposed by CBS News," the official said.

The official did not mention the Fox News debate, which is the only debate the Trump campaign has accepted.

Donald Trump, speaking with ABC News' Jonathan Karl, said his ear is doing fine and that he hopes the bandage will be off by the time he speaks on Thursday.
