US Vice President JD Vance shared a touching anecdote about his wife Usha and his late grandmother, Mamaw, on Steven Bartlett's podcast. Vance expressed regret that his grandmother never met Usha, noting their shared intelligence and strong will, despite vastly different backgrounds.

He also recounted his mother's initial, culturally unaware question about Usha's 'tribe,' highlighting his family's unfamiliarity with diverse cultures, though they eventually embraced Usha wholeheartedly.
