Vice President JD Vance and his family took time out from his first official overseas trip to take in the sights at the newly restored Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France.
Vance had traveled to Paris for an international summit on Artificial Intelligence (AI), where he encouraged world leaders to look at AI development as more of an opportunity than a risk: “The AI future is not going to be won by hand-wringing about safety.”
On Wednesday, he toured the refurbished Cathedral with his family. Video circulated of the vice president carrying his three-year-old daughter Mirabel, as five-year-old Vivek walked by his side. Seven-year-old Ewan followed with second lady Usha Vance a short distance behind.

But as the video made the rounds, it was clear that Vivek — who peppered his father with questions and comments throughout — had stolen the show.
“‘Daaaaad, can we go now? I want chicken nuggets.’ Seriously, though, it’s great that JD and Usha are trying to give the kids as normal a family life as possible for the next 4 (8? 12?) years,” Mark Krikorian posted.

“I want a reality show about life as VP raising 3 little kids that don’t care that you’re the VP, you’re just dad and we follow them around on all the cool places they go and the kids just complain and ask questions nonstop,” another posted.

“Vance’s daughter won’t let go of him, his youngest son is talking to him like they’re just hanging at home in the living room and the oldest is chatting it up with Usha. It’s nice to see an average American family dynamic in leadership,” Brianna Lyman posted.
