MAGA Baby Boom? Vance Baby News Takes Internet by Storm

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.

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.

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!”

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.

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.

Catholic University Professor Chad Pecknold, a friend of Vances, quoted another friend of the Vances, the late Charlie Kirk.

And then the memes came pouring in.

Would Secretary of State Marco Rubio add another job as the Vance’s babysitter or godfather?

Baby Vance is due in July 2026—right around America’s 250th birthday.
