Harris Talks Family, Abortion on 'Call Her Daddy'
The Facts
US Vice Pres. Kamala Harris in an interview on the podcast "Call Her Daddy" addressed recent comments made by Republican politicians, including Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, regarding the Democratic presidential nominee not having biological children.
Harris told host Alex Cooper she feels "sorry for" Sanders, who said that Harris doesn't have anyone to keep her "humble" because she doesn't have biological children. Harris said that many women "have a lot of love in their life, family in their life, and children in their life" without biological children.
The Spin
Democratic narrative
Young women are going to be a crucial constituency in the upcoming election, so it was wise of Harris to appear on a podcast that has millions of listeners, many of whom are female. It's important to get out the word that Trump and Republicans are against protecting women or their rights to bodily autonomy, and this was the perfect venue to do so.
Republican narrative
Once again Harris has proven she rallies around one issue, reproductive rights, but isn't equipped for the multi-faceted job of president. While she was recording an interview on a woke podcast in an attempt to woo young women, people in the US South were dealing with the consequences of an inadequate response by the Biden-Harris administration to hurricane destruction.
