JD Vance's Wife, Usha leaves prestigious law firm after her husband is chosen as Trump's VP
Above the Law ^ | July 16, 2024 | Staci Zaretsky

Posted on 07/16/2024 5:31:04 PM PDT by CondoleezzaProtege

Like Doug Emhoff before her, another VP pick's spouse has left Biglaw thanks to politics.

"Usha has informed us she has decided to leave the firm. Usha has been an excellent lawyer and colleague, and we thank her for her years of work and wish her the best in her future career."

— A statement given by a Munger Tolles & Olson spokesperson to Bloomberg Law, concerning the recent departure of litigator Usha Chilukuri Vance, in the wake of her husband Sen. J.D. Vance’s selection as Donald Trump’s running mate in the 2024 election. Usha, a Yale Law graduate who clerked for Judge Amul Thapar (E.D. Kentucky), Judge Brett Kavanaugh (D.C. Circuit), and Chief Justice John Roberts, said in her own statement that in light of the news concerning her husband, she had “resigned from [her] position at Munger, Tolles & Olson to focus on caring for our family.” Her biography has already been removed from the Munger Tolles website.

Wife of JD Vance Resigns From San Francisco Law firm Moments After Her Husband is Announced

July 16, 2024 | Sundance |

Usha Chilukuri Vance, the wife of Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, quit her job as a corporate litigator at DNC-affiliated Munger, Tolles & Olson, within minutes of hearing that JD had been selected as President Trump’s Vice-President nominee and running mate.  Usha Vance worked in Washington DC for the firm.

SAN FRANCISCO – […] Usha Vance confirmed that she will be stepping aside in a separate statement to SFGATE.

“In light of today’s news, I have resigned from my position at Munger, Tolles & Olson to focus on caring for our family,” she said. “I am forever grateful for the opportunities I’ve had at Munger and for the excellent colleagues and friends I’ve worked with over the years.” 

[…] Usha worked as a litigator in the firm’s San Francisco and Washington, D.C., offices, where her practice mainly dealt with “complex litigation and appeals in a wide variety of sectors, including higher education, local government, entertainment, and technology, including semiconductors.” It also stated that she lives in Cincinnati with her husband and three children. (read more)

According to India Today – “JD Vance, who was once a Trump critic, said he had the full support of his Indian-origin wife, Usha Chilukuri Vance, who was present at the convention.

[…] Usha attended Yale Law School, where she met her future husband, JD Vance, in 2013. They worked together to organise a discussion group on the subject of “social decline in white America”, The New York Times reported.

The two quickly bonded soon after, with JD Vance often referring to Usha as his “Yale spirit guide”. They got married in 2014 after graduating from Yale Law School.

Usha holds a BA in history from Yale University and an MPhil in early modern history from the University of Cambridge. 

During her time at Yale, Usha served as the executive development editor of the Yale Law Journal and managing editor of the Yale Journal of Law and Technology. She participated in the Supreme Court Advocacy Clinic, the Media Freedom and Information Access Clinic and the Iraqi Refugee Assistance Project, people.com reported.

JD Vance and Usha have had three children since their marriage in 2014 — two sons, Ewan and Vivek, and a daughter, Mirabel.

Usha has been instrumental in her husband’s political journey, often accompanying him to political events and providing guidance and support.

She has been involved in her husband’s political campaigns, including his successful Senate campaigns in 2016 and 2022. She has also been registered to vote as a Republican in Ohio since 2018. JD Vance has publicly acknowledged her influence, expressing gratitude for her role in shaping his decisions and opportunities. (read more)

JD Vance will likely lead the transition team for President Donald Trump, and it will be very useful for him to have Usha Chilukuri Vance beside him to help staff some of the more important legal positions around the office of the presidency.

From the descriptions of her legal endeavors in/around Washington DC, Usha Vance, likely knows some of the best legal minds available.

In fitting with the theme of the nomination, another San Francisco lawyer, Harmeet Dhillon, closed the night at the RNC with a Sikh prayer.

The Left and the Zeepers are already trying to Gaslight them.

I don’t know why they mentioned that there was a Sikh Prayer at the RNC. Usha is Hindu. I don’t see how that can be construed as a hat tip to Usha.

Because liberals don’t understand that religions are different.

I am not joking. They don’t know the difference.

Sikhs are fair-skinned. Usha is a dark skinned South Indian. Very different.

I would like to vote for a conservative Republican who upholds the Judeo-Christian legal and moral values of this country. Their theology, faith walk, and personal relationships with God are between them and God.

Oh, MY! Will 50, 100, 1,000 “journalists” descend upon the law firm records? Will the Drive-By Media delve into their records the way they “fervently” dissected Hillary Clinton, Rose Law Firm, Whitewater/Castle Grande fraudulent land transaction scandal? Will there be a similar cast of characters: Webster Hubble, James McDougal, Vince Foster. Let’s see...Hubble did jail time without giving up the goods. Vince Foster was ‘found’ dead in Fort Marcy Park (where Foster actually died is another thing altogether). McDougall ‘died’ in jail before he could testify.

The Rose Law Firm billing records magically ‘appeared’ in a hallway of the White House just days after the statute of limitations on Hillary’s crimes expired.

Will the ABC-CBS-NBC-CNN-MSDNC LGBTQWERTY Cabal create Usha billing records, like the George W. Bush records Dan Rather and company created? Rather eventually labeled the falsified records “fake, but accurate.”

The democRATS, DemoKKKrats, Leftists and Drive-By Media are all The Party of Hate. They have done, and will do ANYTHING. There is no lie, crime, falsehood they will not use.

People are talking about tamping down the rhetoric.

Without a conscience or a soul, anything is possible for the Left.

That was 8 years ago when the choice was Trump or Hillary Rotten Criminal. Vance showed us then all we will ever need to know about his character.

Trump has gone scorched earth, but he’s obviously okay with Vance doing the same.
