Raw Story on Friday reported on rumors swirling online after JD Vance's wife appeared in public without a wedding ring, but the second lady's office offered an explanation.
Usha Vance's appearance in public without a wedding ring raised eyebrows among liberal influencers and strategists, who have kept an eye on JD Vance's relationship since the V.P. suggested his wife might one day convert to Christianity. Conservatives, however, jumped to the defense of the second lady.
A spokesperson from Usha Vance's office called Raw Story shortly after the publication of our first article, and then texted a statement that was sent to a conservative news outlet.
In the statement provided to Raw Story, the spokesperson said Usha "is a mother of three young children, who does a lot of dishes, gives lots of baths, and forgets her ring sometimes."
