Godavari (Andhra Pradesh) [India], November 7 (ANI): Residents of Vadluru village, the native village of Usha Vance—wife of U.S. Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance—celebrated as Donald Trump crossed the 270-electoral vote majority in the U.S. elections. Vadluru, located in the West Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh, India, is where Usha’s family has roots.

As the news spread, villagers took to the streets, setting off fireworks and cheering in celebration. Usha Vance, an Indian-American lawyer, is set to become the first Indian-American Second Lady of the United States in January. The celebrations in Vadluru reflect the pride felt by the Indian-American community, especially those with Telugu heritage. Her husband, JD Vance, ran alongside Donald Trump in the U.S. elections.

On Tuesday, special prayers were held by villagers in Andhra Pradesh's Godavari district for the success of JD Vance. "We hope that Trump will win the election. America is countering terrorism across the world. Relations between America and India will improve if Trump becomes President. There is a big fight between the two (Trump and Kamala Harris). We feel very proud that (Usha) Vance is a native of Vadluru. Her relatives still live here," said Ramana, a resident of the village.

Earlier, JD Vance cast his ballot in person for the U.S. Presidential Elections on Tuesday morning (local time), as reported by CNN. He voted at the St. Anthony of Padua Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

“I felt good about my own race a couple of years ago when I voted in this exact same spot. Hopefully, it goes as well for President Trump and me as it went for me a couple of years ago in Ohio,” Vance told reporters after casting his vote. (ANI)
