“#NY Rep. Elise Stefanik pregnant with first child<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Rep. Elise Stefanik announced on Saturday that she is pregnant with her first child.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are absolutely overjoyed to announce that our small family of two will soon be three,\u201d Stefanik (R-Glens Falls) wrote in a post on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re so excited to share that we are expecting a baby this fall and we cannot wait to meet our precious bundle of joy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The announcement was accompanied by photos of the 36-year-old congresswoman sitting outside next to her husband, Matt Manda, as they both cradled her baby bump.<\/p>\n

It drew well-wishes from several politicos, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy who wrote, \u201cCongrats!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCongratulations! So excited for you both!! Being a mom is the best job in the world!,\u201d former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders commented on the post.<\/p>\n

The parents-to-be didn\u2019t say when to expect their bundle of joy, but thanked their followers for the kinds words.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for the warm wishes and prayers from so many. We are truly blessed,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n

News<\/a> of Stefanik\u2019s pregnancy came after she was chosen as GOP conference chair last month, replacing embattled Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), who was forced out over her continued rebuke of former President Donald Trump and his unsubstantiated claims that he won the 2020 election.<\/p>\n

The 134-46 tally for Stefanik was nearly guaranteed before the vote took place, given that she went into the meeting with Trump\u2019s endorsement and without a serious challenger.<\/p>\n

The Upstate powerhouse has previously sparred with the Albany Times Union over a blog post that had mocked her for being \u201cchildless.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a young couple, we have developed a thick skin over many years as we have become accustomed to repeated sexist smears in media<\/a> coverage,\u201d Stefanik and her husband said in a statement after the post was published in January, as they demanded a retraction.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike millions of families, we hope and pray that we will be blessed by becoming parents,\u201d the couple had said at the time.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
