US Vice President JD Vance has revealed that conservative broadcaster Erika Kirk's raw confession of regret on her husband Charlie Kirk's deathbed helped persuade his wife, Usha Vance, to have a fourth child.
For context, the passage appears in Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith, Vance's new book tracing his journey from losing his Christian faith to converting to Catholicism in 2019. The memoir, out on 16 June and framed as a follow‑up to Hillbilly Elegy, folds together his religious shift, his rise in national politics and the private fallout of political life on his young family.
