Ella Emhoff, the stepdaughter of Vice President Kamala Harris, has responded to controversial remarks made by Ohio GOP Senator JD Vance. Vance's comments, made during a 2021 interview with Tucker Carlson on Fox News, resurfaced recently and criticized Harris and other prominent Democrats as "childless cat ladies" who, in his view, aim to impose their views on the country.

Vance's remarks, which also included criticism of figures like Pete Buttigieg and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, suggested that childless people were somehow less equipped to understand or lead the country. This characterization sparked backlash, with many taking issue with Vance’s derogatory language.

In a statement to NBC News, Kerstin Emhoff, Ella's mother and Doug Emhoff’s ex-wife, condemned Vance’s comments as “baseless.

” She praised Harris, who has been a co-parent to Ella and her brother Cole for over a decade, describing her as "loving, nurturing, fiercely protective, and always present." Emhoff expressed her gratitude for Harris being part of their blended family and emphasized the supportive role Harris has played in their lives.
