Buttigieg hits back at JD Vance’s dig about ‘childless’ Democrats

Sen. JD Vance, now in the spotlight as Donald Trump’s running mate, is being widely criticized for his past comments about “childless” Democrats, which have come under renewed scrutiny.

“You look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC — the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children,” he told Tucker Carlson on Fox News during his run for the Senate in 2021. “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?”

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who has been floated as a potential vice presidential pick by Kamala Harris, addressed the Ohio Republican’s remarks in an interview with CNN.
