NYT bestseller makes chilling ‘divorce’ prediction for JD Vance, Usha amid Erika Kirk hug row
Vice President JD Vance and Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk were pictured sharing a hug at the TPUSA University of Mississippi event on Wednesday.
Vice President JD Vance and Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk's interactions are in the limelight after the TPUSA event at the University of Mississippi on Wednesday. Videos and photos showing Vance sharing a hug with Charlie Kirk's widow have been going viral on social media platforms. Erika's introduction of Vance has also drawn attention.
These led to divorce speculations, and amid this New York Times bestselling author Shannon Watts has made a chilling claim about the two. Taking to X, she claimed that Vance would announce divorce and marry Erika by the end of next year. “Vance announces divorce, marries Charlie Kirk’s widow by the end of 2026,” Watts wrote in reply to photos of the two hugging. Her post has received 8.5 million views at the time of writing.
Notably the divorce buzz came even as Vance said at the TPUSA event that he ‘hoped’ his wife, Usha would embrace Christianity. Many expect Vance to throw his hat in the ring for the 2028 presidential election race, as the MAGA candidate. Some have opined that Usha being a Hindu might be a hurdle in that case.
