US Vice President JD Vance said he hopes his wife Usha Vance, who was raised Hindu, will one day embrace Christianity. Speaking at a Turning Point USA event in Mississippi, JD Vance said faith has become a central part of his family’s life, even as he acknowledged his wife’s differing beliefs.
“Now, most Sundays, Usha will come with me to church. As I’ve told her, and as I’ve said publicly- do I hope, eventually, that she is somehow moved by the same thing that I was moved by in church? Yeah, I honestly do wish that because I believe in the Christian gospel and I hope eventually my wife comes to see it the same way," JD Vance said.
JD Vance, who converted to Catholicism in 2019, added that their religious differences have not caused conflict within the family.
“If she doesn’t [convert], then God says everybody has free will, and so that doesn’t cause a problem for me," he said, adding, “That’s something you work out with your friends, your family, with the person you love."
The US Vice President also shared that the couple’s children are being raised in the Christian faith. Their eight-year-old recently completed First Communion and their two oldest children attend a Christian school.
Emphasizing the importance of faith in public life, JD Vance said he makes “no apologies" for believing that Christian values are foundational to the United States.
“Anybody who’s telling you their view is neutral likely has an agenda to sell you," he said, responding to a question about the separation of church and state. He continued, “And I’m at least honest about the fact that I think the Christian foundation of this country is a good thing."
