JD Vance repeats comments he wants wife Usha to convert to Christianity

At a Turning Point USA event, JD Vance reaffirmed that he hopes his wife, Usha, who is Hindu, will eventually embrace Christianity, while emphasizing her free will and their interfaith family’s agreement to raise their children Christian. He said the kids attend a Christian school and noted his own 2019 baptism and alignment with Catholic social teaching. Usha Vance has said she will not convert and continues sharing Hindu traditions with their children, including a recent visit to India. The Hindu American Foundation criticized his remarks; Vance called the backlash anti-Christian bigotry online.
