Usha Chilukuri Vance arrives to introduce her husband, Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, on third day of the Republican National Convention at the Fiserv Forum, Wednesday, July 17, 2024, in Milwaukee. Usha Chilukuri Vance loves her “meat and potatoes” husband, JD Vance.

Antani, a Hindu candidate who has won several Ohio state elections in a region that is mostly Christian and deeply conservative, said “the racism in the Republican Party is coming from racists, not Republicans.” Antani, who celebrated Usha Vance speaking about her Indian heritage at the RNC, believes Ramaswamy lost not because he is Hindu, because he was not as well-known as the other candidates.
Usha Vance is an example of the positive contributions made by Hindus, and her interfaith marriage and her ability to listen to different perspectives are reflective of Hindu teachings, she said.
