US Vice President JD Vance and his wife Second Lady Usha Vance are going to become parents once again. The Vance couple informed through social media on Tuesday that they are preparing to welcome a son by the end of July. This will be their fourth child.
JD Vance has been vocal on the declining birth rate in America
This announcement has come at a time when Vice President JD Vance has been continuously raising his voice about the declining birth rate in America. Republican leader Vance believes that encouraging large families is necessary for the social and economic future of the country.
Vance raised this issue prominently for the first time during the 2021 US Senate election campaign from Ohio. Then he warned that the falling birth rate could pose a long-term threat to American society and the economy. Even after becoming the Vice President, he remains vocal on this issue.
During his address at the ‘March for Life’ rally held in March 2025, Vance had said, ‘I want more children to be born in America.’
Vance will be the first couple to raise a family in the White House
Usha Vance has often been seen accompanying the Vice President on foreign tours and official visits. Their children have also been seen together on many occasions. In social media and official photos, the Vance family has been seen traveling on Air Force Two, with the children sometimes seen in pajamas.

Never before in American history has a child been born to any Vice President. In this way, the Vances will be the first couple to raise a family while living in the White House. It was first used when President Grover Cleveland’s wife, Frances Cleveland, gave birth in the White House in 1893 during his second term in office.
This announcement by JD Vance and Usha Vance makes them one of the few top American officials who are going to welcome another child during their tenure.
