Donald Trump shored up the newborn vote Sunday, as daughter Ivanka gave birth to her third child, and Trump’s eighth grandchild, Theodore James Kushner.

The 34-year-old businesswoman gave birth on Easter Sunday, a particular boon for her father, who just last week was telling the American Israel Public Affairs Committee convention that his daughter was “about to have a beautiful Jewish baby.” Ivanka Trump converted to Judaism before marrying her husband, Jared Kushner, seven years ago.

Ivanka Trump tweeted both a birth announcement for and a photo of her new son, whose family also includes 4-year-old Arabella Rose and 2-year-old Joseph Frederick.

New baby Kushner isn’t the only pending arrival looking to bless the 2016 campaign trail, as Chelsea Clinton announced her second pregnancy in December, a sibling for Charlotte, who will turn 2 in September.

Trump did tell “Fox and Friends” on Monday morning that Theodore was born “on Easter, so we have an Easter baby, which is beautiful.”
