US Vice President JD Vance has faced criticism after revealing that government tax incentives influenced his decision to have a fourth child with his wife, Usha Vance. Critics accused him of hypocrisy, pointing to his past opposition to expanding child tax credits.
At the 2026 March for Life Rally in Washington DC, Vance said financial incentives from the government played a significant role in conversations with his wife about growing their family. The couple have three children and are expecting their fourth, a boy, in the coming summer. 'Honey, we've got an expanded child tax credit, and we've got the Trump accounts. We got to take advantage of this stuff,' Vance recalled telling his wife.
