Meanwhile, when US President Donald Trump was asked about the booing incident, he mentioned that he was “surprised.” He was asked by a reporter, “Did you see that the vice president got booed during the opening ceremony, though? What do you make of that?”
Trump replied, “No, is that true? Is that right? It’s surprising! Because people like him. Well, I mean, he is in a foreign country, you know, in all fairness. He doesn’t get booed in this country.”

“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. During this exciting and hectic time, we are particularly grateful for the military doctors who take excellent care of our family and for the staff members who do so much to ensure that we can serve the country while enjoying a wonderful life with our children,” they added in their statement.

After which, Usha Vance’s spokesperson clarified that “a mother of three young children, who does a lot of dishes, gives lots of baths, and forgets her ring sometimes.”
