JD Vance’s mother, Beverly Aikins, recently shared a wholesome reason leading her to believe he son will one day lead the United States of America from the Oval Office. During a recent interview with the New York Times, where Aikins shares personal information such as struggling with substance abuse, the mother of the Republican Vice Presidential candidate shared a heartwarming prediction about her son’s future in national politics.
The Times accompanied Aikins to a local Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in Middletown, Ohio, in which she stated that she “knows” Vance is destined to be elected president one day. Praising her Yale-educated son’s intelligence, she noted how “everything he touches turns to gold.” She shared memories of Vance that indicated his interest in politics from a very young age.
“I think that JD is probably the smartest, most amazing young man, and everything he touches turns to gold,” she said, admiring her son. Aikins further stated, “JD will be president one day. You know how I know that?” she posed. “He used to watch all these political shows” during his childhood. “I would say, ‘Why do you watch that?’ He would say, ‘Mom, this is about our country. I need information.’ I would just think, ‘What a nerd.’”
Aikins was first introduced to the national spotlight through Vance’s critically acclaimed book, Hillbilly Elegy. However, not every detail surrounding Vance’s mother in the book was positive. Recalling a conversation she had with Vance at a Waffle House, Aikins noted, “He said, ‘Mom, I wrote a book, and there’s probably some things in it that aren’t very favorable,’” She responded to her son, “Will it help you heal?” to which Vance said, “I think it will.”
“It was heartbreaking in some parts,” she said of the book. “It helped us grow as a family, and it opened up a line of communication that we never really had. Addiction in our house was like the elephant in the room. Nobody ever said anything about it. We do now,” Vance’s mom added.
In other news regarding JD Vance’s family, the American Tribune recently reported on comments from the Ohio senator defending his wife, Usha, after reprehensible comments were made about her from detractors. Host Margaret Brennan asked Vance, “In your own movement. That’s what I want to ask about, because one of the supremacists who was saying things like this about your family, Nick Fuentes, an avowed anti Semite, went after your wife, he had previously died at Mar a Lago with Donald Trump. Does this have any room in your movement, in the MAGA movement?”
“Of course, it doesn’t have any room in the MAGA movement. And of course,” Vance replied, before Brennan interrupted, “You disavow him?” Vance continued, “And of course Donald Trump has criticized this person. Look, I think the guy is a total loser. Certainly I disavow him. But if you ask me, What I care more about, is it a person attacking me personally, or is a government policy that discriminates based on race, that’s what I really worry about.”
