Vance's wife finds it 'absurd' to hire security for her two-month-old son

Usha Vance, the wife of U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, called it "absurd" that the Secret Service should have a separate security detail for their two-month-old son, Alec Neal. She said this in an interview with the Daily Wire.

“He has Secret Service security. None of our newborns have had such security before, Vance said.

According to her, such a measure looks unusual, since the child is almost always near her. “It’s kind of absurd because he’s always attached to me. He's never far away from me, she said.

Alec Neal was born on July 19, 2026 and became Vance's fourth child. The couple also have sons Yuen (2017) and Vivek (2020) and daughter Mirabel (2021). Alec Neal was the only child born after Vance became vice president.

In an interview, Vance said she wanted to raise him like the rest of the children, not as a child “grown up under political privilege.”.

MS NOW previously reported that Secret Service officers guarding the vice president and his family were unhappy with the family's frequent and urgently arranged personal travel. One episode concerned plans to take Vance and his son in a Marine Two military helicopter to Andrews Air Force Base, where the child was to have a golf lesson. The flight was eventually canceled due to thunderstorms and strong winds.
