Oh, baby: Bill and Hillary Clinton are grandparents

Bill and Hillary Clinton’s daughter Chelsea gave birth to a baby girl on Friday, it was announced today. Charlotte Clinton Mezvinsky is the first child of Chelsea Clinton and and husband Marc Mezvinsky (pictured), and the first grandchild of the former president and ex-secretary of state. Chelsea Clinton announced her pregnancy in April while sitting alongside her mother on stage at a New York City event on empowering women.

The baby arrives as Hillary Clinton deliberates on whether to seek the White House in 2016. 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. 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.
