US Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance announced the birth of their fourth child, a baby boy named Alec Neel Vance, on Sunday, making it the first baby born to a sitting US vice president in more than 150 years. The couple expressed their excitement on social media, stating, "We are excited to announce that our baby boy, Alec Neel Vance, was born this morning. Usha and the baby are happy and healthy, and our kids are overjoyed to meet their little brother," according to India Times, BBC, and LA Times.
Born on the same day, Alec Neel joins his siblings—Ewan, 9; Vivek, 6; and Mirabel, 4. The couple thanked the medical staff at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for their care during the birth, emphasizing their appreciation for the team, according to BBC and LA Times.
This birth marks a rare occasion in U.S. history, as the last child born to a sitting vice president occurred in the late 1800s. The couple's pro-natal stance reflects JD Vance's advocacy for increasing birth rates in the U.S., tying personal decisions to broader societal issues, as noted by LA Times and BBC.
