United States Vice President JD Vance has announced the arrival of his newborn son, revealing that both the baby and his wife, Usha Vance, are doing well.
The Vice President shared the news in a statement on Sunday, expressing appreciation to the medical professionals who cared for his family during the birth.
“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 Centre and the White House Medical Unit have been a blessing.
“We are deeply thankful for all they have done for our family,” Vance said.
The newborn becomes the fourth child of the Vice President and his wife, Usha, who have been married since 2014.

Since taking office, he has played a prominent role in the administration while maintaining an active family life.
Following the announcement, well-wishers, supporters and public officials took to social media to congratulate the Vice President and his family on the birth of their son.
