While JD Vance faced criticism for distancing from wife’s religion, Erika Kirk was slammed for cosying up with the Vice President.
Vice President JD Vance came under a lot of fire Thursday after he sided with Christianity and expressed his wish that his Hindu wife Usha Vance who, according to JD is not a very religious person, embrace Christianity. JD Vance converted to Catholicism in August 2019, long after JD Vance’s marriage to Usha Vance. It was a major MAGA implosion moment as social media users started ‘shipping’ JD Vance with Erika Kirk, widow of Charlie Kirk — politically and also romantically.
Vance-Kirk for 2028
A few weeks ago, MAGA commentators floated the idea of a Vance-Kirk ticket for 2028 — JD Vance being the presidential candidate and Erika Kirk, the VP candidate. JD Vance is currently the top choice for the 2028 presidential candidate, apart from Marco Rubio. But in the past few weeks, support for Vance-Kirk grew louder for Vance-Rubio. But after Vance addressed the Turning Point USA event at the University of Mississippi, the chatter took a different turn and many MAGA supporters insinuated that JD Vance will divorce Usha Vance and will remarry Erika Kirk before his 2028 run because they argued that JD Vance knows America will not accept a ‘Hindu First Lady’.The photo of Erika Kirk and JD Vance hugging invited criticism for Erika Kirk as well as she was accused of cosying up with JD Vance on the stage.

JD Vance-Usha Vance rumors
Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki recently made some comments about JD Vance and his relationship with Usha Vance saying that Usha is scared of him. “I think the little Manchurian candidate, JD Vance, wants to be president more than anything else,” Psaki said. “I always wonder what’s going on in the mind of his wife. Like, are you OK? Please blink four times. We’ll come over here. We’ll save you,” Jen Psaki said. “And that he’s willing to do anything to get there. And your whole iteration you just outlined, I mean, he’s scarier in certain ways in some ways. And he’s young and ambitious and agile in the sense that he’s a chameleon who makes himself whatever he thinks the audience wants to hear from him,” Psaki said. JD Vance said the comments are disgraceful, but the Second Lady can speak for herself. “I am very lucky to have a wonderful wife. I hope that my wife feels the same about me. We will keep on serving the country together,” JD Vance recently said when he was in Israel with his wife.
