Story summary

Usha Vance, the Second Lady of the United States and wife of Vice President JD Vance, criticized the Secret Service detail assigned to their newborn son Alec Neel Vance. In an interview with the Daily Wire, Usha called it an "absurdity" since none of her previous children had such protection. Born in February, Alec is now two months old and has a dedicated Secret Service team. The couple shared on Instagram that they are happy and healthy, and their other children are excited to welcome their new brother. In March, JD joked about persuading Usha to have another child after she initially told him it would be between becoming vice president or having a fourth baby; however, Usha later clarified to NBC News that she never completely closed the door on more children.
