Usha Vance will lead presidential delegation at Special Olympics World Winter Games, Trump says
Second Lady Usha Vance has been selected to lead the presidential delegation to Italy for the 2025 Special Olympics World Winter Games, the Office of President Donald Trump announced Thursday.
Vance will lead the delegation to Turin, Italy, the host city for this yearās Games. The opening ceremony is scheduled for Friday.
Usha is a lawyer married to Vice President JD Vance since 2014.

Usha sat next to former high school volleyball player Payton McNabb during Trumpās address to a joint session of Congress Tuesday night.
McNabb told Fox News Digital she was āheartbrokenā when she learned Trumpās executive order on transgender athletesā participation in womenās and girls sports was not codified into law by the Senate.
āLast night, just overall, the Democrat Party was so disrespectful,ā McNabb said in reference to members of the party who were wearing pink during the joint session of Congress.
āAnd they didnāt stand up for any of the guests. They didnāt stand up for DJ Daniel, who is the young boy who survived brain cancer. They didnāt stand up for Laken Rileyās family, whose daughter literally suffered a traumatic death that should have never happened. And every other guest that was there had some sort of powerful story, and they didnāt clap for any of that.ā
āSo, it was heartbreaking, and honestly I wish I could say I was surprised, but Iām not,ā she concluded.Ā

Shawn Crowley, ChargĆ© dāAffaires a.i., US Embassy to Italy and San Marino; T.H. Trent Michael Morse, deputy assistant to the president and deputy director of presidential personnel; Riley M.
