Usha Vance reveals how she deals with negative press coverage of her husband

Sen. JD Vance's wife, Usha Vance, revealed how she deals with negative press coverage of her and the Vance family after her husband was chosen as Donald Trump's running mate during an exclusive interview with "Fox & Friends."

"That can be hard. And, you know, sometimes I don't see it all, and sometimes I do see it and I look at and think, well, this is not the JD I know, this is not accurate. And other times it might span discussions or thoughts about what we should do next or how we should live. But I think we've been doing this now for a little while, and I've gotten kind of accustomed to it and grown a bit of a thick skin to it. And so I just try to not let it affect the way that I live," Vance told Fox News' Ainsley Earhardt in an interview airing Monday.

Trump chose the Ohio senator as his running mate in last month. Vance has been subjected to an intense drumbeat of negative coverage in the weeks since and has a negative net favorability rating.

Vance also said she's gotten a lot of good advice from their friends about how to deal with the press.

"One really good piece of advice that someone gave me is just not to read the news that much, and it's not burying your head in the sand or anything like that. It's just JD is out there. He's talking about all sorts of things. He's thinking all sorts of things and I just think he deserves to have someone in his life who hears it straight from him and doesn't just hear what other people are saying about him all the time. And so I think that really helps," she said.

Earhardt also asked about Vance's "childless cat ladies" remarks in 2021, which have come under sharp criticism
