US Republican Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance has faced a storm of criticism over a three-year-old comment that has resurfaced amid the country’s election campaign, in which he suggests that because many in the next generation of Democratic Party leaders do not have children, they also do not have a stake in the future of the United States.
Vance’s comment has angered not just Democratic Party leaders but also many public figures and some Republican commentators, sparking questions over whether his public statements might be hurting former President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign. Trump had chosen Vance as his running mate ahead of the Republican National Convention in July.
