“She’s an amazing mother. She manages to create this sort of cocoon of normalcy around our kids where they’re just able to be kids, and that is not easy in the life that we lead… She doesn’t complain, she doesn’t… pic.twitter.com/0b49bwjLRm
"Who is the person you most admire?" Arroyo asked.
"My wife. My wife," Vice President JD Vance replied. "Because she's an amazing mother, she manages to create this sort of cocoon of normalcy around our kids, where they're just able to be kids. And that is not easy in the life that we lead, that is not easy. It requires a lot of sacrifices for her, but she just does it. She doesn't complain. She doesn't criticize. She just says 'This is my job.' She does it amazing well and with a lot of grace and beauty."
The Vances have four children, ranging in age from nine to three months old.
I once ran into her at the air and space museum. We couldn’t figure out if it was really Usha, because she was alone (secret service blended into the room around us) and she was just giving her kids (dressed like astronauts) a snack at the table in the cafeteria. https://t.co/m6a9eoFDxx

It's very sweet to see this from the Vice President and Second Lady. Their son was only the second child to be born to a sitting Second Lady; the first was Ellen Colfax, wife of Vice President Schuyler Colfax, who gave birth to a son in 1870.
