Mazel Tov! Sen. Chuck Schumer Becomes a Zaidy For The First Time

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer now shares something in common with President Donald Trump: They can both be called “Zaidy”!

The New York Democrat tweeted an announcement Wednesday that his daughter Jessica and husband Michael Shapiro had welcomed a baby boy, Noah Melvin Schumer-Shapiro, “a very happy Brooklyn baby.”

The middle name, Melvin, Schumer wrote, is in honor of Schumer’s great-grandfather, a New York City cabdriver.

The 7-pound, 21-inch baby boy was born in NYU Langone Hospital on Shabbos, according to a statement from Schumer’s office.

“Mom and baby continue to do well”, Schumer tweeted Thursday.
