  • Usha Vance hasn't fully Maga-fied herself yet. Is she having moments of doubt? | Arwa Mahdawi

    The second lady is no victim – she has been a major force in JD’s meteoric rise. But as a former Democrat, what does she really think of the political world she’s landed in?Usha Vance is a very clever woman with terrible taste in men. The Yale and Cambridge-educated lawyer quit her job at a prestigious DC firm the same day her husband was picked to be Donald Trump’s running mate. She trailed after him on the campaign trail, smiling for the cameras. A former Democrat, she aligned herself with Trump, a man her husband once called “America’s Hitler”.In exchange for her loyalty, the second lady now has a taxpayer-funded mansion, regular trips in a private jet, and a husband who acknowledges white supremacist attacks on her – saying “Don’t attack my wife” – but has failed to condemn them head on. Speaking during an event at the University of Mississippi last Wednesday, the vice-president said that he hoped his wife, raised in a Hindu household, would convert to Christianity. JD, by the way, used to be an atheist, then converted to Catholicism in 2019, saying he “really liked that the Catholic church was just really old”.Do you have an opinion on the issues raised in this article?
