The baby boy was born on Sunday morning, the couple an- nounced on social media. His birth marks the first time in more than 150 years that a sitting vice president has had a baby while in office, after Schuy- ler Colfax in 1870. “Usha and the baby are happy and healthy, and our kids are overjoyed to meet their little brother,” the Vances said in the announcement. JDVance, now 41, was the third- youngest person to be sworn in as vice president. He and Usha Vance, 40, had two sons and a daughter before enter- ing office: Ewan Blaine (9), Vivek (6) and Mirabel Rose (4). The couple thanked their doc- tors and staff atWalter Reed National Military Medical Center and theWhite House Medical Unit. The Vance family’s plans to make a second home in Middleburg, Virginia, has caused a stir in the old-money town outside ofWashington. Residents are concerned about the helicopters, Secret Service and motorcades that the couple will bring to the area known for horses and antiques. JDVance said that the killing of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk convinced him and Usha to try for another child. They made the decision after Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, told them she regretted only having two children with her late husband while they were helping her escort her husband’s body back to Arizona. Vance recalled the conversation in an op-ed in theWall Street Journal adapted from his new book. Vance is widely expected to run for president in 2028, but he has told report- ers that he will not make a decision until after the 2026 midterm elections. Secre- tary of State Marco Rubio’s prominence within the the Trump administration has prompted some Republicans to discuss the possibility that Rubio may also seek the party’s nomination. - TheWashington Post JD And Usha Vance Announce Birth Of Fourth Child By Cat Zakrzewski (c) 2026 PHOTO:X.COM @VP SCREENSHOT X.COM @JDVANCE Vice President JD Vance being sworn in Jan. 20, 2025, as his wife Usha looks on, with their 3 children.
