KATHMANDU: US Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Second Lady Usha Vance, have been blessed with a son. The newborn baby has been named Alec Neel Vance. The Vance couple shared this joyful news by issuing a joint statement on social media. According to them, both the mother and the baby are in good health.
This event is considered highly unique in American history. This marks the first time in the last 156 years that a child has been born to a sitting vice president during their term in office.
With the arrival of the new family member, there are now four children in the Vance family. Prior to this, they have a nine-year-old son, Ewan, a six-year-old son, Vivek, and a four-year-old daughter, Mirabel.
JD Vance is among the leaders who have expressed continuous concern over the declining birth rate in America. He has consistently advocated for encouraging people to have more children during various public programs. He is also frequently seen traveling abroad alongside his wife, Usha Vance, who is of Indian origin. In American history, the birth of a child to a sitting top leader during their active tenure is considered extremely rare. Prior to this, a child was born to then-Vice President Schuyler Colfax in 1870, and to Vice President John C. Calhoun in 1829.
