J.D. and Usha Vance Welcome Baby Boy, First Child Born to Sitting VP in Over 150 Years
U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance announced the birth of their fourth child, Alec Neel Vance, on July 19, 2026. The baby boy is the first child born to a sitting vice president in more than 150 years, since Schuyler Colfax in 1870. Alec joins siblings Ewan (9), Vivek (6), and Mirabel (4). The Vances thanked medical staff at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Vance, a Republican and former Marine, has been a vocal advocate for higher birth rates in America, linking his family's growth to his pronatalist stance. The birth is part of a recent baby boom among top Trump administration officials, including White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and press secretary Karoline Leavitt. Usha Vance, the daughter of Indian immigrants, faced media scrutiny during her pregnancy over her fashion choices and the political symbolism of her family's growth.
