For the first time in more than 150 years, the second family is growing. On Tuesday afternoon, Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance announced that she is pregnant with her fourth child, a boy, due at the end of July. The Vances referred to this pregnancy as “this exciting and hectic time” before thanking military doctors, and the joyful announcement took Washington and the internet by storm. We’re very happy to share some exciting news. Our family is growing! pic.twitter.com/0RohEBYXM7— Second Lady Usha Vance (@SLOTUS) January 20, 2026 The pregnancy is historic, given that the last time a second family welcomed a child into the world was in 1870. Vice President Schuyler Colfax and his wife, Ellen, had a child while Colfax was vice president to President Ulysses S. Grant. Like Vance, Grant was from Ohio. Before JD Vance and Usha Vance’s pregnancy announcement in 2026, the last U.S. Vice President to have a child while in office was Schuyler Colfax and his wife, Ellen, in 1870. pic.twitter.com/AgTx4HpJ1x— History Calendar (@historycalendar) January 21, 2026 The news quickly became a trending topic on X. The Trump War Room account boasted the growing second family is part of a “MAGA BABY BOOM!” MAGA BABY BOOM https://t.co/hzTbYYo4lf— Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) January 20, 2026 The White House X account, meanwhile, said the news is proof of “the most pro-family administration in history!” Perhaps the Trump War Room and the White House are right as several other members of the Trump administration are also expecting children. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is pregnant with her second child, a daughter, due in May. Katie Miller, the wife of Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, is pregnant as well. Like the Vances, this is their fourth child. Fellow Ohio Republicans were quick to wish the vice president and second lady well, including Gov. Mike DeWine and Sen. Jon Husted. Congratulations to Vice President @JDVance and @SLOTUS Usha Vance! Fran and I wish you and your family all the best. https://t.co/ZpHypSqga2— Governor Mike DeWine (@GovMikeDeWine) January 20, 2026 Congratulations! Children are an amazing gift. May mom and child be blessed with good health. https://t.co/1jvxIP9uHZ— Jon Husted (@JonHusted) January 20, 2026 Husted was not the only one to celebrate the “amazing gift” that children are. Florida Republicans Rep. Byron Donalds, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, and Sen. Rick Scott, also celebrated the news of new life. Get married. Have babies. Make families great again ??CONGRATS to the Second Family of the United States! @JDVance @SLOTUS https://t.co/xEnaWXzsq2— Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (@RepLuna) January 20, 2026 Catholic University Professor Chad Pecknold, a friend of Vances, quoted another friend of the Vances, the late Charlie Kirk. “Get married. Have children. Build a legacy.Pass down your values.Pursue the eternal.Seek true joy.” — @charliekirk11 pic.twitter.com/8ZDYq55vEH— Chad Pecknold (@ccpecknold) January 20, 2026 And then the memes came pouring in. Would Secretary of State Marco Rubio add another job as the Vance’s babysitter or godfather?
