Fox News host Kat Timpf confirms Gutfeld! break as she undergoes more surgery in breast cancer battle
Kat Timpf is taking a brief break from Fox News ' Gutfeld! as she prepares to undergo another surgery related to her breast cancer treatment. The 36-year-old co-host candidly announced the news during a recent episode of the show before also uploading a snippet to her Instagram page. Timpf explained that the upcoming procedure is part of her recovery process following a double mastectomy - explaining that her absence would last a couple of weeks. 'The best case scenario of breast cancer can involve quite a road to feeling whole again, so this is the first step in that,' she shared. She also added, 'Just so the internet can't come up with theories about where I am, that's where I am.' Giving further insight in the caption of her social media post, she wrote in the caption: 'I'll be back on Gutfeld! in a few weeks! 'Huge thanks to those of you who have taken the time to offer me words of kindness and support. I love you all so much.' And Kat's post was quickly flooded with messages of support - including from fellow famous faces. Rachel Campos-Duffy wrote: 'Never been more impressed with Kat Timpf. The very definition of a strong mom!' Meghan McCain added: 'We love you!!' And Janice Dean simply commented: 'Love youuuuuuuuuuu!' In March, it was revealed that Kat had undergone a double mastectomy for breast cancer after receiving the shock diagnosis while pregnant. She was told she had stage zero breast cancer just one day before going into labor with her first child. At the time, Timpf shared a post-surgery update to let fans know she was doing well. She shared an image from a hospital bed of her legs covered by a gown with an animated 'censored' illustration over her feet. In the caption, she made a joke about how much her breast size had been reduced. 'Post-op! They're honestly not much smaller than they were before I got pregnant,' Timpf wrote said. Timf has been open about her unconventional journey to parenthood as she navigated the first few weeks of her son's life while reeling from the cancer diagnosis. But she has also been forced to defend herself online in recent weeks after trolls urged her to stop speaking about her shock cancer battle. Set against a black backdrop, the TV personality shared a snapshot to her Instagram story of a comment that read: 'Sorry Kat, but you are not all that and a bag of chip. 'I am REALLY HAPPY that you kicked cancer's butt and that you are a mom. However, using it all the time is getting very old. 'Other people have gone through the very same thing and are very humble. Don't be so egocentric.' Mom-of-one Kat was quick to share her own thoughts on the note, issuing a scathing response that read: 'PSA: I will likely talk about this for the rest of my life as that is how long it will affect me. Making jokes heals me and I won't stop doing it.

Usha Vance Addresses Her First Lady Chances
Second Lady Usha Vance has opened up about the prospect of husband Vice President JD Vance ascending to the presidency in 2028, and the chances of becoming the next First Lady. In a candid interview with Meghan McCain, recorded at the Vice-Presidential residence at One Observatory Circle in Washington, D.C, she said: "I'm not plotting out next steps," adding that she would be happy to be "along for the ride" if her husband became president. Newsweek contacted the White House via online form on Friday for comment. Usha Vance has passed the historic milestone of being the first South Asian and Hindu Second Lady, but she is steering clear of stating any political ambition, whether in the short term or as potential First Lady. As Vice President, husband JD is widely regarded as the leading contender for the Republican presidential nomination in 2028, though he has yet to formally declare his candidacy. Usha Vance addressed the subject on Wednesday's episode of the podcast Citizen McCain with Meghan McCain, with her host describing it as a "very exciting possibility." "There is not a small chance you could be our first lady in a few years," said former View co-host McCain. "I wanted to know is that stressful for you, is it exciting, is that something you think about, is this something everyone is asking you everywhere you go?" Usha offered a measured response, emphasizing that her current priority lies squarely in the present moment: "Well, people do ask about it," the attorney said, adding, "three years ago, or maybe it was four years ago at this point, I had absolutely no intention of leading any sort of life in politics, it really is that rapid. "And then when we moved our kids to school in this area it was with no intention whatsoever of JD running for a new office and so my attitude is that this is a four-year period where I have a set of responsibilities to my family, to myself, to obviously the country, and that's really what I'm focused on." "I'm not plotting out next steps or really trying for anything after this," she noted. "And in a dream world, eventually I'll be able to live in my home and kind of continue my career and all those sorts of things. "And if that happens in four years, I understand, if that happens at some other point in the future, I understand, I'm just sort of along for the ride and enjoying it while I can." Usha also announced during the interview that the couple are expecting their third child. She also revealed that it's been "really hard" for JD to quit driving since assuming office. The Second Lady discussed living at the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C, and how much she appreciates the staff there. However, the couple maintains close ties to Ohio and considers it their true home. Meghan McCain on her podcast to Vance: "I really just am such a fan of yours, I think you're so cool, I really hope you are a first lady someday, and I don't mind saying that, you don't have to say, it I will." McCain also praised Usha's humility and perspective on motherhood and public life. Usha talked about looking forward to bringing projects to light that she is interested in and working on things she is excited about. She recently launched a children's reading initiative, her first public-facing project since her husband became Vice President.

As vice president, Vance is considered the political frontrunner to be the Republican nominee for president in 2028. Vance himself has not yet committed to running. Usha Vance Reveals How She Deals With Negative Press Coverage Of Her Husband "I really am just not focused on politics. I'm not focused on the midterm elections in 2026, much less the presidential election in 2028. When we get to that point, I'll talk to the president. We'll figure out what we want to do," Vance told Lawrence Jones in a "Fox & Friends" exclusive interview in April. He added, "The way I think about it is, if we do a good job, the politics take care of themselves."Original article source: Usha Vance addresses possibility of becoming first lady in 2028

Usha Vance hints at another baby with JD Vance
Second lady Usha Vance teased that there could be a baby born to a sitting vice president. Vance, 39, sat down with Meghan McCain for an episode of the former View host's 2Way YouTube show Citizen McCain. The interview aired Wednesday. Usha and Vice President J.D. Vance have three children already - Ewan, 8, Vivek, 5, and Mirabel, 3 - with Vance telling McCain that she suffered from amenia while pregnant with all three. But she revealed that the second couple is leaving the door open to a fourth. 'Never say never,' she told McCain. Vance said that when she and the vice president were married, after both studying at Yale Law School, they always knew they were going to have kids. 'The number though, that was the question. I grew up with just two kids in the family and J.D. has a differently structured family but he primarily grew up with just his sister. I think what we decided at the outset is we'll have two and then we'll see how we feel about that,' she explained. 'And I thought maybe I would have two kids, and I would think I'm done, this is good. But I just liked having the two kids so much that I think I ended up being the driver for three, which really surprised both of us,' Vance continued. 'And now we're at three and I'm feeling pretty good about this and sometimes he thinks he might like to have a fourth, but we'll see where that leads.' No vice president in history has had a baby while serving in the role. President Grover Cleveland - who like President Donald Trump was the only president to ever serve two non consecutive terms - had a baby in the White House, with wife Frances giving birth to the couple's daughter Esther. During the sit-down, McCain, 40, the daughter of the late GOP presidential candidate and Sen. John McCain, revealed to Vance that she was pregnant with her third child - a boy - with husband Ben Domenech, a frequent face on Fox News Channel. 'Well congratulations, that's so exciting!' Vance said. 'What I've really enjoyed about three kids is that it's just enough for them to be kind of a pack, like the oldest will take care of the youngest one, the youngest is so motivated to be like the older two that she's basically self-sufficient, always has been,' the second lady continued. 'It's awesome.' Vance said that zero to one kids was 'an enormous shock.' 'Zero feels one way and one feels like the entire world is turned upside down and you don't know what you're doing and what's up and what's down,' she said. 'One to two wasn't that bas and two to three was, shockingly, the easiest of all.' 'So you may be in for a surprise,' she reassured McCain. Both millennial women were candid about their pregnancy struggles. 'So during pregnancy, during each of them, I was prone to anemia, which just makes you so tired, and you're already kind of tired and especially when we were having our third child,' Vance said. 'I was completely exhausted because I had a trial right before,' the accomplished lawyer added. Vance said the struggles ended up being a good test run for parenting. 'But for me it was actually a little bit different because pregnancy was so exhausting that not being anemic was like, you know, high on life and that really helped,' Vance noted. She said that the couple's oldest son Ewan was born seven weeks before she started a Supreme Court clerkship, the final clerkship of her legal career. The clerkship was for Chief Justice John Roberts, who had been appointed by Republican President George W. Bush. 'And I mean, I kid you not, we were still mostly nocturnal and I wasn't awake during the day and I had to kind of switch to being awake and functioning during the day and sleeping at night,' Vance said. 'So that was a really rough transition for us.' 'It honestly ended up being good because it showed me a little bit about how much time I had been wasting before and how much more efficiently I could run my professional life in a way that would allow me to be the kind of parent I wanted to be,' she added. 'It was zero to 60 in a lot of ways but I think it changed everything about how I lived after that,' Vance said.
