Usha Vance, J.D. Vance's wife and political unknown, arrived on the RNC stage for her prime-time debut.
"When I was asked to introduce my husband J.D. Vance to all of you, I was at a loss," she said. "What can I say that hasn't already been said. I mean the man was a subject of a Ron Howard movie."
Vance has left her law firm following her husband being formally announced as former President Donald Trump's running mate at the Republican National Convention on Monday.
Before leaving the firm, Usha's practice focused on "complex civil litigation and appeals in a wide variety of sectors, including higher education, local government, entertainment, and technology, including semiconductors," according to her biography page on the firm's website, before it was removed.
Usha previously served as a law clerk for Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. of the U.S. Supreme Court, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, then of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and Judge Amul Thapar, then of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, according to the firm.
Born Usha Chilukuri, the wife of the newly announced VP pick, grew up in San Diego, California, and is the daughter of Indian immigrants.
She received her law degree from Yale Law School and, during her time at the institution, served as executive development editor of the Yale Law Journal and managing editor of the Yale Journal of Law & Technology, according to her biography page.
J.D. and Usha met during their time at Yale Law School and got married in Kentucky in 2014, according to the New York Times.
