Trump supporters declare a 'MAGA baby boom' after Usha Vance pregnancy announcement
Supporters of the Donald Trump administration have been left elated over the apparent 'MAGA baby boom' following the news that Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance are expecting their fourth child this July.
The couple made the announcement in a post to social media Tuesday, sharing that they are 'very excited' to welcome another boy to their family over the summer.
'We're very excited to share the news that Usha is pregnant with our fourth child, a boy. Usha and the baby are doing well, and we are all looking forward to welcoming him in late July,' the Second Lady's office posted on X (formerly Twitter).
The two added that they are 'grateful to the military doctors who take excellent care of our family.'
The Vice President and Second Lady already share two sons, Ewan, eight, and Vivek, five, and a daughter, four-year-old Mirabel.
Of course, it comes after a handful of others in the MAGA world announced their own pregnancies in recent months too - such as Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and United States Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller's wife, Katie Miller.
Leavitt is already mom to one son, Niko, with her husband, Nicholas Riccio, 60, but will be adding to her family with a daughter who is due in May.
The Miller family, for their part, already have three children - daughter Mackenzie, five, and sons Jackson, three, and Hudson, two. They haven't announced the due date or gender of their fourth baby.

The exciting baby news over the past few weeks is sending MAGA fans into a frenzy, as many took to X on Tuesday to share their sheer excitement.
'So many new babies at the White House with Karoline, Steve Miller's wife, now Usha!! I love this!!' one person wrote.
Another agreed, 'Karoline Leavitt, Katie Miller and now Usha Vance! MAGA baby boom!'
A second wrote, 'The Trump baby boom is everything.'
'Babies in the White House - love it. Karoline and now Usha,' someone else typed.
One person even pointed out under the Vice President's announcement, 'How awesome you're having the baby this year, America's 250th birthday. Congratulations.'
One X user typed, 'Wonderful news, congratulations to the whole family. A sibling is one of the best gifts we can give our children.'
The joyous announcement comes just a few months after Usha sat down with Meghan McCain for an extensive interview, where she spoke about suffering from anemia during her previous pregnancies and the possibility of welcoming a fourth.

'Never say never,' she told McCain when asked about having a fourth child.
Usha told McCain that when she and the vice president were married, after both studying at Yale Law School, they always knew they were going to have kids.
'The number though, that was the question. I grew up with just two kids in the family and J.D. has a differently structured family but he primarily grew up with just his sister. I think what we decided at the outset is we'll have two and then we'll see how we feel about that,' she explained. 'And I thought maybe I would have two kids, and I would think I'm done, this is good.'
'But I just liked having the two kids so much that I think I ended up being the driver for three, which really surprised both of us,' Usha continued. 'And now we're at three and I'm feeling pretty good about this and sometimes he thinks he might like to have a fourth, but we'll see where that leads.'
The Second Lady was also candid about her past pregnancy struggles.
'So during pregnancy, during each of them, I was prone to anemia, which just makes you so tired, and you're already kind of tired and especially when we were having our third child,' Usha said.
'I was completely exhausted because I had a trial right before,' the accomplished lawyer added.
The Second Lady said the struggles ended up being a good test run for parenting.
'But for me it was actually a little bit different because pregnancy was so exhausting that not being anemic was like, you know, high on life and that really helped,' Usha noted.
