Chelsea Clinton Gives Birth to Baby Girl
Saturday, 27 Sep 2014 09:03 AM
Bill and Hillary Clinton are
grandparents. The couple's daughter, Chelsea Clinton, has given birth to her first
child, a daughter named Charlotte.
Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of the former president and
ex-secretary of state, announced the baby's birth on Twitter and Facebook early
Saturday, saying she and husband Marc Mezvinsky are "full of love, awe and
gratitude as we celebrate the birth of our daughter, Charlotte Clinton
Mezvinsky."
Clinton spokesman Kamyl Bazbaz said the child was born on
Friday but did not immediately provide additional details. The couple lives in
New York City.
The baby arrives as Hillary Clinton deliberates on whether
to seek the White House in 2016, a decision that could put her on a path to
becoming the nation's first female president. Clinton is the leading Democratic
contender to succeed President Barack Obama, her former 2008 campaign rival,
and has said she expects to make a decision around the beginning of next year.
The baby has
been eagerly anticipated as Hillary Clinton considers her political future —
she has called the prospect of becoming a grandmother her "most exciting
title yet." She even has picked out the first book she intends to read to
her grandchild, the classic "Goodnight Moon."
She has said she didn't want to make any decisions about
another campaign until the baby's arrival, pointing to her interest in enjoying
becoming a grandmother for the first time. If Clinton decides to run for
president, her campaign would coincide with the baby's first two years.
The former president has been eager to become a grandfather.
During an event with former President George W. Bush in September, Mr.
Clinton's cell phone rang on stage and he joked that only two people had the
number "and they are related to me," musing that he hoped he wasn't
becoming "a premature grandfather."
"Every day I get up and I say, 'You have to remember
whose child this is. Do not interfere. Be there when you are welcome. Be loving
but not judgmental," Clinton said to laughs in an interview with CNN at
his annual Clinton Global Initiative, only days before the baby's arrival.
Even Obama got into the act. Addressing the annual Clinton
confab, Obama quipped if Chelsea Clinton went into labor during his speech,
"she has my motorcade and will be able to navigate traffic."
The 34-year-old Chelsea Clinton said in an interview with
Glamour magazine last year that she and her husband had hoped to make 2014
"the year of the baby." She announced her pregnancy in April at the
end of a forum in New York on female empowerment.
Chelsea Clinton grew up in the public eye as a teenager in
the White House, later graduating from Stanford and Columbia universities. She
worked in finance in New York and in public health, earning a doctorate from
Oxford University while taking on a prominent role as vice chair of her
family's foundation. She recently departed NBC News, where she served as a
special correspondent.
The new parents, who married in 2010, were friends as
teenagers in Washington and both attended Stanford. Mezvinsky is a hedge fund
manager and the son of former Reps. Majorie Margolies of Pennsylvania and
Edward Mezvinsky of Iowa, longtime friends of the Clintons.
