The Facts
Harris expressed sympathy for Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who suggested that Harris lacks humility due to not having children, stating that many women have love, family, and children in their lives without aspiring to be humble.
The vice president emphasized the importance of women supporting each other and highlighted her role as a stepmother to two children, Cole and Ella Emhoff, who affectionately call her "Momala".
The Spin
The criticism of Harris's childlessness is valid because having biological children gives leaders a direct stake in the country's future. Her lack of experience as a biological mother may impact her ability to relate to certain family issues and long-term policy decisions.
