Summary
Alec Neel Vance was born Sunday at Walter Reed in Bethesda, with JD Vance and Usha Vance saying both mother and baby are healthy.
The birth makes the Vances the first second family in modern U.S. history to have a child while in office; the last known case was Vice President Schuyler Colfax's family in 1870.
Alec joins brothers Ewan, 9, and Vivek, 6, and sister Mirabel, 4; the couple thanked Walter Reed staff as Usha Vance recovered.
In his new book, Vance said Usha had resisted a fourth child until conversations after Charlie Kirk's death and his widow Erika Kirk's regret about not having more children helped shift her thinking.
