A 25-year-old stepdaughter of the U.S. Vice President responded to J.D. Vance's remarks. The Republican vice-presidential candidate pointed out Kamala Harris's childlessness. Ella Emhoff reacted to his statement.

In 2014, Kamala Harris married lawyer Douglas Emhoff, becoming a stepmother to his two children, Ella and Cole.

Recently, the stepdaughter of the United States Vice President addressed J.D. Vance’s interview for Fox News. A few years ago, the Republican candidate for vice president criticized Kamala Harris for not having her own children. Her stepdaughter came to her defense.

The 25-year-old criticized the Republican representative. Ella Emhoff responded to the politician's interview, in which he pointed out that Harris does not have her own children. The interview appeared in 2021, but it gained renewed attention after Joe Biden's withdrawal from the presidential race and Kamala Harris was nominated.

J.D. Vance then listed the vice president as one of the "childless women who are unhappy with their own lives."

"How can one be 'childless' when they have such sweet kids as Cole and me?" Harris's stepdaughter wrote on InstaStories, adding that she "loves her three parents."

"These are baseless attacks. For over 10 years, since Cole and Ella were teenagers, Kamala has co-parented with Doug and me," she wrote in a statement.

"She is loving, caring, fiercely protective, and always present. I love our blended family and am grateful that (Kamala Harris - ed.) is part of it," she added.
