Indian-origin Second Lady of US Usha Vance claims her husband JD Vance is "very lonely"; Netizens react

The Second Lady of the United States, Usha Vance, recently gave her first interview to The Free Press. While the interview covered a variety of topics, from her and JD Vance's love story to her fashion preferences, it also included questions that pondered over the couple's relationship.

As per a report by BuzzFeed, Usha Vance said her husband is "very lonely" as Vice President, attributing it to the long working hours and less communication. When asked if she was his most trusted advisor, she answered, "I don’t know that he’s asking me for advice so much as it can be a very lonely, lonely world not to share with someone." She shared that the couple doesn't discuss her husband's professional work all the time.

While Usha Vance may have made her statement as a gesture to help her husband share the burden of such a huge position, the Internet could not remain calm with their reactions to it.

"JD Vance’s wife, Usha Vance, said that he’s “very lonely” as the Vice President. Cry me a river," wrote a person on X. "This is heartbreaking news. Unfortunately, loneliness is not confined to heartless, objectionable people", added another.

Many commented on how loneliness comes with the job Vance has, writing, "He bought the ticket, he rides the train." and "It’s a tough gig."


Americans have not been liking how Vance seems to be an ardent supporter of everything Trump does and this has made him the target of negative criticism. Usha Vance's comment on JD Vance's loneliness was the perfect opportunity for the netizens to point out that he was lonely because of his own actions with comments like "You’re popular when you do your job right. So that makes sense"
