It may not have seemed likely that JD Vance, a combat veteran with a hardscrabble working-class upbringing and a touch of imposter syndrome, would be elected president of the United States when he enrolled in Yale Law School.
Many people who know him attribute his extraordinary success to his wife, Usha Vance, whom he met on the campus of an Ivy League university.
In any case, 40-year-old JD Vance has risen to prominence. He went from being a longshot candidate for the Senate to being the third youngest vice president in American history in just three years.
His wife, Usha, in his words, has been his “spirit guide” at every turn.
