Vice President JD Vance Is Releasing A New Book, Here’s What It’s About

Is now really a good time to release a book?

Regardless, Vice President JD Vance has revealed he will be releasing a new book.

The book will be called “Communion” and is set to release in the coming months.

The Hill provided a description of Vance’s new project:

Vice President Vance has a new book about rediscovering his religious faith set to be released in June.

The book, titled, “Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith,” comes out on June 16, the HarperCollins Publishers imprint Harper told The Associated Press (AP) on Tuesday.

The AP reported, citing the publisher, that Vance wrote the 304-page book himself and has worked on it since 2019. Raised as Protestant, the former Ohio senator was later an atheist while in college and after graduating but converted to Catholicism in 2019.

“I’ve been writing this book for a long time, and I’m honored to finally be able to share the full story with you all,” Vance wrote on social platform X, linking to an Amazon description of the book. “Communion is about my personal journey and how I found my way back to faith.”

Vance’s memoir, titled “Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis,” was published by HarperCollins in 2016. In that book, he detailed his upbringing and the socioeconomic issues plaguing Appalachia.

While Vance has said he will not decide on whether he will run for president in 2028 until after November’s midterm elections, polling has him as the favorite for the GOP nomination if he were to seek it.

The vice president earned support from 53 percent of respondents to a straw poll taken at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Saturday, according to New York Times reporter Kellen Browning.

Here’s the moment Vance made the announcement:

I’ve been writing this book for a long time, and I’m honored to finally be able to share the full story with you all. Communion is about my personal journey and how I found my way back to faith.

It will be available in June, but you can pre-order today: https://t.co/UANx672Q1S pic.twitter.com/ybtW3tE1KB

The Washington Examiner reported more on Usha’s podcast:

Second lady Usha Vance unveiled her new story time podcast of reading children’s stories on Monday.

The podcast, Storytime with the Second Lady, features either her reading books or inviting a special guest to read, and is part of her initiative to increase childhood literacy rates. Three episodes, approximately 10 minutes long, have been released with the podcast’s launch, with the first featuring her reading The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter.

“Reading for pleasure at home builds stronger literacy and classroom skills and opens the door to a world of opportunity for children,” Vance said in a statement. “I’m excited to invite special guests to share great stories, spread their love of reading, and help reverse the decline of childhood literacy rates in our country.”

The other two episodes feature guests, former NASCAR racer Danica Patrick and Brent Poppen. Patrick, who conducted a town hall with then-vice presidential candidate JD Vance in 2024, read a pair of books from the Disney Pixar Cars franchise, and Poppen, an author and Paralympian, read a section from a book he wrote, Playground Lessons.

The second lady spoke about her podcast ahead of its premiere on Friday, as well as occasionally having disagreements with her husband. Vance said there’s no expectation the couple will see eye-to-eye on everything, but that they will be “open-minded and have a conversation, and that I’ll provide meaningful input.”

“So even if we don’t agree, it’s — I think it’s always very productive,” Vance said to NBC News.

Vance announced a summer reading program to address the “reading loss” among children last year. The program encouraged children to read 12 books between June 1 and Sept. 5, and gave participants who completed it a chance to visit the White House.
