US Vice President JD Vance has announced he will not take paternity leave after his wife, second lady Usha Vance, gave birth to their fourth child, a baby boy, on Sunday morning at Walter Reed Medical Center in Maryland.
The birth of Alec Neel Vance is historically unusual on its own. According to the Vice President's office, this is the first time in 156 years that a sitting second lady has been pregnant or given birth while in office, placing the Vance family in a tiny club of political couples whose domestic and public lives collide in real time.
