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.
The incredible military doctors and staff members of Walter Reed Medical Center and the White House Medical Unit have been a blessing. We are deeply thankful for all they have done for our family.
This marks the first time in modern U.S. history that a sitting vice president has welcomed a new child into the world.
NBC News has more:
Usha Vance, 40, is the first woman since the 1870s to give birth while her husband is vice president.
She and her husband have three other young children, two boys and one girl, who are ages 4, 6 and 9.
While promoting his new book this year, JD Vance previously said it was unlikely that he would take parental leave once the baby arrived. The couple announced the pregnancy in January and said at the time that she was due in late July.
Congratulations to the Second Family!
God Bless them all.
