SENATOR, 50, GIVES BIRTH

SEN. TAMMY Duckworth of Illinois announced Monday she has welcomed her second daughter — making her the first senator to give birth while in office. Maile Pearl Bowlsbey — Duckworth’s second daughter — was named in part for the great-aunt of her husband, Bryan Bowlsbey. Duckworth (photo), 50, a Democrat, said she was “grateful for the love and support of our friends and family, as well as our wonderful medical teams for everything they’ve done to help us in our decades-long journey to complete our family.” the Iraq War veteran said. The senator — who lost her legs in an air crash while serving in the Iraq War — will be taking 12 weeks to bond with her daughter, a spokesman said. Elizabeth Elizalde With News Wires
