That's thanks to Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance, who, in a resurfaced speech from 2021, faulted the "childless left" for America's problems.
He further took aim at childfree people in an interview with Tucker Carlson, saying they're "a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they've made, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too."
"It's just a basic fact," he added. "You look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC — the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children. And how does it make any sense that we've turned our country over to people who don't really have a direct stake in it?"
Sadly, Republicans have only continued their attacks against Harris, who doesn't have biological kids but is affectionately referred to as "Momala" by her stepchildren, Ella and Cole Emhoff. Most recently, former Trump aide Sarah Huckabee Sanders criticized Harris for not having kids, seemingly suggesting she needs them to keep her "humble."

It's a topic she's discussed extensively before. In 2017, she reflected on her "incredible" and accomplished life and how people will still tell her she should have kids to give it "meaning."
"I have built an incredible life. I have become a woman that I am proud to be. And then someone tells me about their friend who adopted a child at 52 and how 'it's never too late for your life to have meaning,' and my worth gets diminished as I am reminded that I have 'failed' on the marriage and carriage counts," the 51-year-old shared on stage at a Glamour event that year, calling the comments "never-ending" and "not helpful."
Although it's been frustrating, Tracee said she has accepted her situation. "The heartbreak does come up, and I get to hold that gently and lovingly and then remind myself, 'I woke up every morning of my life and I've tried to do my best, so I must be where I'm supposed to be,'" she said on We Can Do Hard Things last year.
The rally featured several celebrity appearances, including Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lopez, and Julia Roberts.
