    Betting Markets Think JD Vance Will Actually Name His Baby “Donald”

    Published on

    Gamblers are putting real money on the possibility that JD Vance will name his unborn son after his boss.

    Online betting site BetOnline has listed 22/1 odds that Vice President Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance will christen their fourth child “Donald,” The Daily Beast reports. That’s the second most likely name according to bettors—topped only by “Charlie” at 20/1 odds, presumably a tribute to slain conservative influencer Charlie Kirk.

    THE DETAILS: The couple announced Usha’s pregnancy in a Tuesday Instagram post, revealing they’re expecting a boy in “late July.” They didn’t mention any naming plans. Other options on the betting board include “Christian” (25/1), “Pete/Peter” (30/1), and—because nothing is too on-the-nose—”Hill/Billy” (40/1).

    For what it’s worth, the Vances’ existing children—Ewan, Vivek, and Mirabel—aren’t named after political figures. But that was before JD became the second most powerful man in MAGA world.

    OF COURSE: This pregnancy announcement arrives after a year of very public weirdness surrounding the Vance marriage. JD publicly stated he wishes Usha, who is Hindu, would convert to Catholicism. He gave Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, what was described as an “intimate hug” onstage. And Usha was spotted multiple times in public appearances without her wedding ring—a detail that fueled months of speculation before this baby news dropped.

    WHY IT MATTERS: The betting market isn’t just absurdist entertainment. It’s a reflection of how thoroughly Vance has rebranded himself as Trump’s most devoted lieutenant. The fact that gamblers consider “Donald” a genuine possibility speaks to Vance’s complete transformation from the guy who once called Trump “America’s Hitler” to someone who might literally name his child after the president.

    BOTTOM LINE: Whether or not little Donald Vance ever enters the world, the mere existence of this betting line tells you everything about where the Vice President’s loyalties lie—and how willing he appears to publicly perform them.
