Usha was sitting next to former high school volleyball player Payton McNabb in Trump’s speech to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night. McNabb told Fox News Digital that she was “grief” when she learned that Trump’s executive order on trans athlete women and women’s sports was successfully law by the Senate.
