Usha, 40, and Vance, 41, who met while attending Yale Law School, have three kids -- Ewan, 8, Vivek, 5, and Mirabel, 4.
US Vice President JD Vance has strongly criticized commentators for making derogatory remarks about his Indian-origin wife, Usha Vance, following racist comments from a right-wing podcaster.
US Vice President J D Vance is scheduled to travel to India later this month, alongside his wife, Second Lady Usha Vance. This will be Vance's second foreign trip as vice president and Usha Vance's first visit to her ancestral country. The couple met while attending Yale Law School and Usha Vance has a background in law, having clerked for Chief Justice John G Roberts and Judge Brett Kavanaugh.
Even as he was being sworn in inside the Supreme Court, scores of people protested across the street at the Capitol.
Trump picked Justice Kavanaugh from his original list of 25 judges, which also included prominent Indian-American judge Amul Thapar, from which he had said he would nominate for any vacancy in the Supreme Court.
The bitterly divided Senate voted 51-49 to end the debate on nomination of Kavanaugh, 53, who has been nominated by Trump on the nine-member bench of the Supreme Court.
"Every day, Kamala has been fighting for justice on behalf of the only client she's ever had: the people," said Douglas Emhoff.
This would be for the second time that Thapar, son of Indian-American immigrants, might not be able to make the final cut after being interviewed by the US president.
"I always used to say the toughest people are Manhattan real estate guys and blah, blah. Now I say they're babies," the former New York-based real estate baron said, adding that the toughest are the political people.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has been asked to complete its investigation in a week, meaning the confirmation of Kavanaugh, 53, as Supreme Court judge would be delayed by at least a week.
The woman is identified as Deborah Ramirez, 53. She attended Yale with Justice Kavanaugh, where she studied sociology and psychology, the magazine said. Later, she spent years working for an organisation that supports the victims of domestic violence.
"I am looking for a fair process, a process where I can defend my integrity and clear my name. And all I am asking for is fairness and that I'd be heard in this process," Kavanaugh, 53, said.
"I was pushed onto the bed and Brett (Kavanaugh) got on top of me. He began running his hands over my body and grinding his hips into me...Brett groped me and tried to take off my clothes...I believed he was going to rape me," she said.
