"I think the little Manchurian candidate, JD Vance, wants to be president more than anything else," Psaki said. "I always wonder what's going on in the mind of his wife. Like, are you OK? Please blink four times. We'll come over here. We'll save you."
"And that he's willing to do anything to get there. And your whole iteration you just outlined, I mean, he's scarier in certain ways in some ways. And he's young and ambitious and agile in the sense that he's a chameleon who makes himself whatever he thinks the audience wants to hear from him," she added.

Usha Vance met her husband while attending Yale Law School. The White House notes in its biography of the second lady that she "is an experienced litigator whose work involved complex civil litigation and appeals in a wide variety of industries." Additionally, she clerked for Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and for then-Judge Brett Kavanaugh, who was serving on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
In his memoir, "Hillbilly Elegy," which was originally published in June 2016, the now-vice president called Usha his "Yale spirit guide" and said that, "In a place that always seemed a little foreign, Usha’s presence made me feel at home," according to PBS.
