During the interview, host Alex Cooper referenced a comment\u200c made by Governor Sarah Huckabee \u200dSanders, implying that Harris lacks humility because she does not have children of her own.\u200b Harris responded empathetically,\u200b expressing \u200cconcern for Sanders and emphasizing that many women do not equate their worth or identity with\u2063 motherhood. She highlighted the importance of women supporting one another, regardless of their personal choices regarding family and children. This exchange\u200d reflects broader discussions about gender\u2062 roles and societal expectations surrounding women&#8217;s\u2062 lives and decisions.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Harris rebuts attacks on family in personal podcast interview<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1776672\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3178586\/harris-ramping-up-media-appearances-time-until-election-ticks-down\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Kamala Harris\">Kamala Harris<\/a> responded to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/facebook-oversight-board-punts-on-trump-ban-decision\/\" title=\"Facebook Oversight Board Punts on Trump Ban Decision\">conservative criticism<\/a> of her family and decision not to have children of her own with husband Doug Emhoff, whose two children she helped raise.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Harris&rsquo;s remarks came in an interview released Sunday with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3178280\/kamala-harris-call-her-daddy-podcast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Call Her Daddy podcast\"><em>Call Her Daddy<\/em> podcast<\/a> that focused more on personal details about her life, career, and women&rsquo;s issues rather than in-depth policy positions.<\/p>\n<p>Host Alex Cooper read a quote from Gov.

Unfortunately, Kamala Harris doesn&rsquo;t have anything keeping her humble.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Harris responded: &ldquo;I feel sorry for her, and I&rsquo;m going to tell you why. Because I don&rsquo;t think she understands that there are a whole lot of women out here who one, are not aspiring to be humble, two, a whole lot of women out here, who have a lot of love in their life, family in their life, and children in their life, and I think it&rsquo;s very important for women to lift each other up.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Sen.

My husband&rsquo;s ex-wife is a friend of mine. And also, I&rsquo;ll tell you, I&rsquo;m a child of divorced parents, and when I started dating Doug, my husband, I was very thoughtful and sensitive to making sure that until I knew that our relationship was something that was going to be real, I didn&rsquo;t want to form a relationship with the kids and then walk away from that relationship.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Abortion rights were also discussed, and Harris laid out some of her policy proposals that she says would make it more affordable to raise families, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/president-biden-says-child-tax-credits-will-hit-americans-bank-accounts-starting-this-summer\/\" title=\"President Biden Says \u2018Child Tax Credits\u2019 Will Hit Americans\u2019 Bank Accounts Starting This Summer\">child tax credits<\/a> for the first year, down-payment assistance for first-time homebuyers, and medical debt not appearing on credit history.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_1776672\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"1776672\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harris defends family choices in podcast interview<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3108,"featured_media":2351427,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/harris-addresses-attacks-on-family.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[3881,4021,6234,11319,32076],"class_list":["post-2351425","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-family","tag-harris","tag-interview","tag-podcast","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/harris-addresses-attacks-on-family.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2351425","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3108"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2351425"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2351425\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2351427"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2351425"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2351425"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2351425"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
