JD Vance encourages Americans to have more children

JD Vance often speaks about his family and marriage and has become a leading voice in the Trump administration’s efforts to encourage Americans to have more children. 

Speaking at the March for Life event in Washington last year, Vance said, "I want more babies in the United States of America. I want more babies in the United States of America. I want more happy children in our country, and I want --and I want beautiful young men and women who are eager to welcome them into the world and eager to raise them."

He added, "And it is the task of our government to make it easier for young moms and dads to afford to have kids, to bring them into the world and to welcome them as the blessings that we know they are here at the March for Life."

Usha Vance makes history as the first second lady to have a baby while in office

Usha Vance will be the first second lady to have a baby while in office, though several first ladies have given birth while their husbands served as president.

First lady Frances Cleveland, wife of former President Grover Cleveland, gave birth to their daughter, Esther, in the White House in 1893, followed by a second child, Marion, born outside the White House.

The Vances have faced gossip about their marriage since October 2025, after the vice president warmly embraced the late Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika. Rumors grew in November and December when Usha appeared at events with First Lady Melania Trump without her wedding ring.

A spokesperson for the second lady explained that as a busy mom, she “does a lot of dishes, gives lots of baths, and forgets her ring sometimes.”

The vice president dismissed the chatter about their relationship during an NBC News interview last month, saying the couple “kind of get a kick out of it.”
