JD Vance was sworn in as the 50th Vice President of the United States on Monday during a ceremony held at the US Capitol Rotunda in Washington, DC. Accompanied by his wife, Usha Vance, and their daughter, Mirabel Rose, Vance took the oath of office administered by US Chief Justice John Roberts. At 40 years old, he becomes the third youngest Vice President in US history.
Expressing his gratitude, Vice President JD Vance described the moment as an “incredible honor.” In a post on X, he expressed his excitement for the position, saying, “It’s a tremendous honor to be sworn in as the 50th Vice President of the United States. I’m eager to collaborate with President Trump to serve the American people. Let’s Make America Great Again!”
Usha Vance, an Indian-American lawyer, played a significant role in the ceremony, holding the Bible while their daughter stood by her side. Their two sons were also present to witness the historic event. Usha Vance, who was born and raised in the US, is the daughter of Indian immigrants from Andhra Pradesh. She graduated from Cambridge and Yale University, and her appointment as the first Indian-American Second Lady marks a milestone in US history.
In India, the village of Vadluru in Andhra Pradesh, where Usha Vance traces her roots, celebrated the occasion with firecrackers and joyous gatherings. Residents took pride in her achievement, further cementing the connection between the two nations.
JD Vance’s inauguration symbolizes the start of a new chapter as he steps into a leadership role alongside President Donald Trump, with a commitment to serving the American people and upholding the values of his office.
