MILWAUKEE (Reuters) - Usha Vance, the wife of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s newly-selected running mate J.D. Vance, made her debut on the national political stage when she introduced her husband at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

Vance presented her 39-year-old husband as a “working class guy” who had overcome childhood traumas to attend Yale Law School. She described him as “a tough Marine who served in Iraq but whose idea of a good time was playing with puppies and watching the movie 'Babe.'"
