Kamala Harris’ Husband’s Ex-wife Comes to Her Defense amid ‘Childless’ Attacks

Jul 25, 2024 | The ex-wife of second gentleman Doug Emhoff defended Vice President Kamala Harris against sexist criticisms about her lack of biological children, calling them “baseless” and expressing her gratitude for the presumptive Democratic nominee.


Republicans must be pretty desperate to assert that someone who is childless doesn’t qualify to be POTUS. What a dumb assertion! There are millions of childless people in the world who would in no way qualify to be the president of the USA!

Having children is not the sine qua non of a successful presidency. Using that yardstick, many political leaders shouldn’t be in their positions! Emmanuel Macron has no biological children, only stepchildren, ditto Angela Merkel. Shinzo Abe has no children, along with many others.

By contrast, Justin Trudeau has children. Does that fact make him a more successful Prime Minister of Canada? And what about Trump himself? He has five children. How successful a POTUS did that make him? You decide! – © Mark Alexander
