Sarah Huckabee Sanders criticizes Kamala Harris for not having biological children

Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders took aim at Vice President Kamala Harris' family life on Tuesday, saying the presidential candidate “has nothing that keeps her humble.”

The governor said during a rally for former President Donald Trump that her children were a “constant reminder of what is important” and they “kept me humble.”

“When you walk into a room like this, where people cheer when you walk on stage, you might think for a second that you're special,” Huckabee Sanders told an audience in Flint, Michigan. “Then you go home, and the kids remind you very quickly that you're actually not that big a deal.”

She added: “So my children keep me humble. Unfortunately, Kamala Harris has nothing to keep her humble.”

Whether politicians have biological children has become a partisan issue in recent weeks following comments made by Senator JD Vance, who is running alongside Trump. In a resurfaced 2021 interview, Vance argued that voters without children should be subject to a higher tax rate.

Vance also took aim at Harris in 2021, saying she was part of a group of “childless cat ladies who are unhappy with their own lives and the choices they've made.” Speaking to Fox News, Vance accused this group of wanting to “make the rest of the country unhappy, too.”

When Taylor Swift promoted Harris earlier this month, the pop star signed her ad, “Taylor Swift, childless cat lady.”

Harris is the stepmother of two adult children, Cole and Ella Emhoff, from the first marriage of her husband, the second Gentleman Doug Emhoff.

“Cole and Ella continue to inspire us to make the world a better place,” their mother Kerstin Emhoff said on social media in response to Huckabee Sanders.

She added: “Kamala Harris has spent her entire career working for the people, for ALL families. That's pretty humbling.”
