00:18Welcome to Verify News Global.
00:20Second Lady Usha Vance shared on Friday that discussions about Vice President J.D. Vance's
00:26political future aren't a major focus in their personal conversations.
00:29Even though many expect him to run for president in 2028.
00:32Speaking ahead of the debut of her podcast, Storytime with the Second Lady, set to premiere
00:37Monday, she emphasized that she and her husband don't always agree on every topic.
00:42I'm not his staffer and I don't take a professional role in his work, she said.
00:47There's no expectation that we will see eye to eye on everything.
00:51She added that their discussions are meant to be open and constructive.
00:55I aim to provide meaningful input from the perspective of someone who loves him and
00:59wants him to succeed, she said.
01:01Even if we don't agree, I think our conversations are always productive.
01:06The interview also touched on her shift from identifying as a Democrat to supporting Republican
01:11candidates, as well as the couple's family plans.
01:14The Vance's announced in late January that they are expecting a fourth child, a boy, in
01:19July.
01:19A first for a couple raising a child while one serves as vice president in the Oval Office.
01:24Regarding current U.S.-Iran tensions, the Second Lady said she sees herself as a trusted
01:29advisor to her husband, especially when issues are personally important to him.
01:33She explained,
01:35We talk frequently.
01:36I want to understand what's happening in his world, what he's focused on, and what concerns
01:41him.
01:41That way, I can offer support effectively.
01:45She also noted that while he has a team of professional advisors, he comes to her when
01:49something is troubling him or when he wants to discuss matters that matter deeply on a personal
01:53level.
