Former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton is pregnant. She announced the news that she and her husband Marc Mezvinsky are expecting a baby during an event in New York today. She told friends and fans on her Facebook page that the baby is due in the fall.

“Marc and I are so thrilled to be expecting our first child in the fall!” she wrote on her Facebook fan page. “Thank you for all of the kind words!”

Chelsea and Mezvinsky, a hedge fund manager, married in 2010 in a dual denominational ceremony. This will be the first child for both. Chelsea’s dad, former President Bill Clinton once told  a crowd at the 2011 World Economic Forum that his wife Hillary Clinton won’t be happy until she becomes a grandmother, USA Today reported. “It’s something she wants more than she wanted to be president,” he said.

Now the question is whether and how will this baby impact Hillary’s 2016 run for the next President of the United States.

Congrats Chelsea! As has been said, is this like a Royal pregnancy for Democrats?
