Second Lady Usha Vance sat down with NBC’s Kate Snow to discuss her growing family, her new podcast, and her political past.
In the interview, Snow stated, “In 2014, you were a registered Democrat.”
Snow continued, “You’re now clearly a Republican, you voted for your husband for Senate as public knowledge, I wonder if you feel fully comfortable in this universe you are in now?
The Second Lady replied, “What do you mean?”
Snow clarified, “In the political universe you’re in.”
Vance answered, “I do feel very comfortable in that no one has ever asked me to engage in any kind of litmus test on anything, and I feel very comfortable in that world.”
“I don’t feel like I have to walk around pretending anything of any sort. Sometimes I have thoughts that fit very comfortably into one side or another, sometimes I have views that are idiosyncratic,” concluded Vance.

The second lady, who was registered as a Democrat until at least 2014, told NBC News she and her husband don’t see eye to eye on every issue.
“I’m not his staffer. I’m not involved in this in any professional sense. … There’s no expectation that we are going to see eye to eye on everything,” Vance said.
“The expectation is that we are going to be open-minded and have a conversation, and that I’ll provide meaningful input from the perspective of someone who loves him and wants him to succeed. So even if we don’t agree, it’s − I think it’s always very productive,” she said. Vance shared her husband will seek her perspective on an issue that is troubling him or is personally important to him.
The second lady was also asked by NBC if she feels fully comfortable in the political universe she’s in now. Vance said she’s never felt pressure to conform to any policy ideas, even though her views don’t always fit neatly on the political spectrum, NBC reported.
Snow, who appeared to have a political agenda during the interview, later asked Usha whether she owned a MAGA hat.
The Second Lady, finding the question humorous, responded, “I don’t really own any hats. I think I have a, uh, a Disneyland hat, I wanna say. Not a hat lady.”
