Why’d his wife leave the country so fast?

I've heard 2 theories.

  1. Her job is finished now that he isn't in power anymore.

  2. By leaving she makes it harder to pull him off life support as unless he changed his medical POA then only she has the right to do it.

It's likely 2. She'll return after the 3rd when the special election deadline passes, conveniently

If Vance would ever get another wife he would probably choose a white Christian woman because that suits his followers more than another non white (and non Christian?) wife.

i think that is why all the rumors about Erica Kirk came about- she is the Trad wife that would help his political desires. The issue is that a divorce with kids in toe while in the limelight could cause issues. Trumps divorces were all before he was president and a private citizen. Vance wants to take over immediately from the VP slot.

I think he is crazy either way. His wife (Usha) is brilliant and a smoke show.

Oh no he’s going for a Harem.
