Jen Psaki Spreads Sick Rumors About Usha Vance

Former Biden press secretary turned MSNBC host Jen Psaki is facing heavy backlash after making bizarre, personal remarks about Second Lady Usha Vance.

On the ‘I’ve Had It Podcast’ with Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan, Psaki veered off the rails while discussing Vice President JD Vance’s political future. “I always wonder what’s going on in the mind of his wife,” Psaki said mockingly. “Are you OK? Please blink four times. We’ll come over here. We’ll save you.”

The former White House spokesperson continued her attack, calling Vance a “Manchurian candidate” who would “do anything to become president,” and suggesting that he changes his views “like a chameleon.”

“He’s willing to do anything to get there,” Psaki said of the Vice President. “He’s scarier in certain ways. He’s smarter in some ways. And he’s young and ambitious, in the sense that he is a chameleon who makes himself into whatever he thinks the audience wants to hear from him.”

“What’s also true, though, is J.D. Vance is, in some ways, goodish on paper, if you like what he believes in — I don’t know. But I don’t know that he can take the whole movement with him,” Psaki claimed.

Usha Vance, a Yale-educated attorney and mother of three, has earned respect across party lines for maintaining her grace under scrutiny. She has rarely spoken publicly about politics, focusing instead on her family and charitable work in Cincinnati.

Her husband is widely seen as one of the leading Republican contenders for the presidency in 2028. A former U.S. Senator from Ohio, Vance has aligned himself closely with the MAGA wing of the GOP and maintains strong support among Trump’s base. Although he hasn’t officially announced a campaign, Vance’s name regularly tops early polling for the Republican nomination. Trump himself has publicly suggested that Vance is his “likely heir apparent” for 2028, giving him both credibility and momentum inside the party.

However, his path to the presidency isn’t guaranteed. He could still face competition from other Republican governors or senators, and his performance as vice president will be scrutinized heavily over the next few years. Any missteps or controversies involving the Trump administration could also become vulnerabilities that Democrats exploit in a general election. Moreover, being the sitting vice president often carries the double-edged sword of national exposure—high visibility, but also accountability for every policy decision.
