Usha Vance rose to prominence at the Republican National Convention last week when she introduced her husband, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, and detailed their story to a roaring crowd of Republican spectators who had long awaited the selection of the GOP's vice presidential nominee.
The potential future Second Lady of the United States has many titles: she is a Yale and Cambridge alumna, a wife, a mother, and a lawyer who once clerked for Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.
It's also her husband JD Vance's “secret superpower,” according to Indian-American comedian and screenwriter Zarna Garg.

“There's no denying that she's an articulate, thoughtful, brilliant woman who has exceptional stage presence,” Garg said, speaking in the foreground of a video recently posted to her account as a television screen of Vance's speech at the Republican National Convention played behind her.
Garg is excited to see more Indian Americans getting involved in the political process, she told Fox News' Brian Kilmeade during an appearance on Fox News Channel Saturday night.

“We have to get involved in the communities we are building. There are so many Indian immigrants in the United States and around the world…[‘s] “We came here to enjoy a prosperous and peaceful life. We all left our homes and some, like me, escaped from an evil mother-in-law,” he said.

“But like other people, we were here for economic reasons and for the prosperity and security we thought we would get here. Now everyone is getting involved and I think it's a welcome change.”
Usha Vance, former Republican presidential candidates Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley and even current Vice President Kamala Harris, who is also of Indian descent, are some of the most prominent voices in the community, Kilmeade noted during the segment.

Garg also commented on the current state of comedy, following on the heels of a video of “The Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon mocking President Biden for his reception by Democrats following his dismal debate performance against former President Trump last month.

“I think it's about time… I think there's a little bit of nervous anxiety in the comedy community because when Trump's not campaigning, or we're not talking about him, we run out of things to joke about and finally, it's OK to joke about Democrats and the progressive side because it really has become that funny,” he said.
“Everyone is in a state of disbelief about where we are, and comics are at the forefront of saying things that are… on everyone's minds,” he added.
