JD and Usha Vance can't escape divorce rumors - Salon: Standing Room Only with Amanda Marcotte

[ihaveaquestion]

JD and Usha Vance can’t escape the divorce rumors and JD certainly isn’t helping. Every time he speaks, he seems to fuel speculation. In this video, I unpack the couple’s catastrophic public relations strategy, JD’s latest “jokes” that land as demeaning moments for his wife, and what all of it reveals about gender dynamics in conservative movements, MAGA gender politics and the role political spouses are expected to play within Christian, right-wing family values narratives.

I’m joined by Moira Donegan, Guardian US columnist and co-host of the podcast In Bed with the Right.
