WASHINGTON – Usha Vance misses plenty about her old life.
She loved being a lawyer and had aspirations beyond working at a firm. She dreams of one day returning to Cincinnati and the home she shared with her husband, JD Vance, and their three children before he became vice president. She says that’s their long-term plan.
That’s also not to say she doesn’t enjoy being second lady — she does. And quitting her job came with perks. She’s reading long books and has developed a fitness routine.

“There are things that I miss and things that I'm excited to have moved on from,” Vance, 39, told USA TODAY in an exclusive interview as she reflected on the life she left behind a little more than a year after voters chose her husband to serve under President Donald Trump as the nation’s second in command.
