Slate Magazine • • nation
Key Points:
- J.D. and Usha Vance welcomed their fourth child, Alec Neel Vance, on Sunday morning, ending Schuyler Colfax III's 156-year record as the last child born to a sitting U.S. vice president and second lady.
- Alec Neel Vance joins siblings Ewan (9), Vivek (6), and Mirabel (4), and his name reflects a blend of cultural nods, possibly honoring his mother's Indian heritage and carrying professional connotations.
- The vice president announced the birth on social media without photos, but former President Trump shared a family photo the next day without apparent permission.
- Interest in the Vances has been high, especially during Usha's pregnancy, with public scrutiny expected to continue if J.D. Vance pursues a presidential run.
- The family plans to maintain their D.C. residence while spending more time at a leased multimillion-dollar property in Middleburg, Virginia, adjusting to life with four children.
