It arrives, too, as Vance has emerged as a leading negotiator in the Trump administration\u2019s agreement to end its war with Iran, and he\u2019s now tasked with selling both this deal and his book. To that end, Vance is scheduled to appear on ABC\u2019s The View in the midst of multiple other media interviews focused on Iran.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Vance had ample material for a second book: his pivot from author to politics, behind-the-scenes of the 2024 presidential campaign, previously unreported details from his first year inside the White House and clues about whether he will seek in the presidency in 2028. He delivers little of it. Instead of the score-settling and palace intrigue sometimes infused in political memoirs (and within President Donald Trump\u2019s orbit), \u201cCommunion\u201d is a deeply personal account in the mold of \u201cHillbilly Elegy,\u201d Vance\u2019s best-selling memoir, centered mostly on his faith journey in the years surrounding his rise to literary fame.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Here are four takeaways from the book.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        Vance regrets making fun of \u2018childless cat ladies\u2019\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Though he largely avoids relitigating the 2024 election in \u201cCommunion,\u201d Vance does use the book to clean up one of his most controversial statements: his critique of \u201cchildless cat ladies.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Vance first made the remark in 2021 while running for US Senate in Ohio, claiming such women were \u201cmiserable at their own lives and the choices that they\u2019ve made, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.\u201d It became a lightning rod for Democrats during the 2024 campaign, and Vance said he now regrets it. In \u201cCommunion,\u201d he called the comment \u201cone of the dumbest things I ever said,\u201d \u201cboneheaded\u201d and a distraction from his actual point: that American society has grown \u201cpathologically hostile to having kids.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            It\u2019s a reversal from how Vance responded to the firestorm that emerged when the comment first resurfaced shortly after becoming Trump\u2019s running mate. Then, a defiant Vance told NBC\u2019s Meet the Press: \u201cI have a lot of regrets, but making a joke three years ago is not at the top 10 of the list.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Later that year, as the election approached, he admitted in a New York Times interview that the comment was \u201cdumb\u201d and that he wished he had \u201csaid it differently.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            In \u201cCommunion,\u201d Vance wrote he has since learned a lesson as a Christian statesman: \u201cIt\u2019s ok to admit error.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        Vance versus the Vatican\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Trump\u2019s immigration crackdowns have repeatedly drawn rebukes from religious leaders, at times putting Vance \u2013 the country\u2019s most powerful elected Catholic \u2013 in between the president and the pope.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            That tension is at the heart of one of the few episodes from Vance\u2019s time as vice president that makes it into \u201cCommunion\u201d: His April 2025 visit to the Vatican.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Coming into the trip, Pope Francis had criticized the Trump administration\u2019s immigration policy and had refuted Vance for citing a medieval theological concept called \u201cordo amoris\u201d to defend the administration\u2019s aggressive tactics.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Pope Francis meets with US Vice President JD Vance on Easter Sunday at the Vatican, April 20, 2025.\" class=\"wp-image-2867\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/856b7961eb998bec70aa229dccf8ceea.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/856b7961eb998bec70aa229dccf8ceea.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/856b7961eb998bec70aa229dccf8ceea-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>Pope Francis meets with US Vice President JD Vance on Easter Sunday at the Vatican, April 20, 2025.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Divisione Produzione Fotografica\/Vatican Media\/Reuters<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            But when he met with church leaders in Rome to discuss Trump\u2019s policies, Vance found the conversation \u201cunsettling.\u201d Not because they were harsh in their criticism, he wrote, but because they weren\u2019t direct enough in their critique.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Vance claimed the diplomats he spoke with \u201cnever specified\u201d which Trump immigration policies they objected to.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cHere I was, the most senior Catholic in the United States government, and the Vatican seemed unwilling to move its moral guidance past the point of trite platitudes,\u201d he wrote. Later, he added: \u201cI was struck that one of the few institutions with the moral authority and global perspective to address the migration question seemed so afraid of saying something controversial that it chose, effectively, to say nothing at all.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Vance went on to detail his Easter morning visit with Pope Francis, who was gravely sick but asked to meet with the vice president after canceling earlier in the week. The meeting, he wrote, lasted about 10 minutes. Vance would ultimately become one of the final public visitors before Francis died less than 24 hours later.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cWe had different jobs, and I preferred his specific exhortations to the vagueness I had encountered during our Vatican meeting,\u201d Vance wrote. \u201cBetter to have an honest conversation than one masked by clich\u00e9s.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        A new GOP path on abortion\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            The first Republican administration since the fall of Roe v. Wade has, at times, frustrated some conservative activists who expected the GOP to wield its majority to further curb abortions in the United States. Trump, though, has largely avoided the topic leading up to the midterms, standing by his campaign pledge to let states decide how to regulate pregnancies.\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=2857\">What to watch in Tuesday\u2019s primaries in Georgia, Alabama, Oklahoma and Washington, DC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            Vance offers a third approach, centered on improving conditions for mothers, children and families in ways that he hopes would lead to fewer women believing they needed to end a pregnancy.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cWhen having babies is a drag on economic activity, the economic gods favor terminating pregnancies,\u201d Vance writes. \u201cAnd of course, it\u2019s not just the act of having children that we ought to be concerned about: It\u2019s spending time with them as well.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Vance points to the successful 2023 Ohio ballot referendum that enshrined abortion rights in the state constitution \u2013 which he opposed \u2013 as a lesson for Republicans. Its passage in a reliably red state, he argues, should illuminate Republicans to the fact women will reject attempts to eliminate \u201cthe last option they thought they had left.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThat\u2019s why we lost the Ohio referendum, but it\u2019s also how we\u2019ll start winning people over: by reflecting Christian charity in the way we champion the unborn.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            It\u2019s as close to a governing blueprint as the book offers. Vance argues that leaders should focus on the policies that uplift families over gross domestic product and stop viewing humans as cogs in an economy \u2013 a vision he connects directly with his Catholic faith.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cTo me, Christians cared about abortion (bad) and marriage (good), but their politics seemed so disconnected from the real lives of most people,\u201d he wrote. \u201cBut if what brought me back to my faith was the sense that the Church answered life\u2019s big questions, then I must resist the effort to confine Christ\u2019s moral teachings to a few social issues. What would a Christian approach not just to marriage and family, but to economics in the modern era look like?\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        The second lady\u2019s leading role\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Vance\u2019s book makes clear few people are more central to his story, or his political future, than his wife Usha.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            In the acknowledgements of \u201cCommunion,\u201d Vance credits Usha, who is Hindu, for encouraging him to reconnect with Christianity after spending a period as an atheist.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Second lady Usha Vance and US Vice President JD Vance arrive for a military mothers celebration in the East Room of the White House on May 6, in Washington, DC.\" class=\"wp-image-2868\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/4246ff909a00eb67cff6e58951a25b87.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/4246ff909a00eb67cff6e58951a25b87.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/4246ff909a00eb67cff6e58951a25b87-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>Second lady Usha Vance and US Vice President JD Vance arrive for a military mothers celebration in the East Room of the White House on May 6, in Washington, DC.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Anna Moneymaker\/Getty Images<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            \u201cThere is at least a little irony in the fact that my non-Christian wife helped lead me back to my own Christian faith, and then made it possible for me to discuss the journey on paper,\u201d he wrote.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            In promoting the book, Vance has also said his wife is his first \u2013 and harshest \u2013 editor (\u201cShe doesn\u2019t sugarcoat things,\u201d he told NBC) and will help him decide whether to mount a campaign for president, a decision he recently told CBS will wait until after the midterm elections.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Her faith has at times generated attention, like when Vance told a college audience that he hoped his wife would convert to Christianity. He later clarified on social media that Usha Vance had \u201cno plans to convert\u201d but added, \u201clike many people in an interfaith marriage &#8211; or any interfaith relationship &#8211; I hope she may one day see things as I do.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Vance earlier this month told Fox News that the couple decided to raise their kids Catholic, though the kids can decide when they want to be baptized. Two have, one has not, he said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Soon, a fourth child will make that choice. The second family is expecting a baby this summer.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Vance wrote in his book that he and his wife were reticent to have another kid. He credited the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, a close friend, for changing their outlook.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cAs my wife held Charlie Kirk\u2019s widow on the first day of her terrible sorrow, Erika told Usha between sobs that she regretted having only two kids with Charlie,\u201d Vance wrote, before adding: \u201cSomething changed for Usha, and not long after we buried my friend, she became pregnant with our fourth child, a boy.
