A spokesperson for Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance is addressing a clip from a 2020 interview that has surfaced online, where Vance seemed to agree with a podcast host's statement about the role of postmenopausal females in raising children. This clip has sparked controversy due to Vance's personal history of being raised by his grandmother.
In the interview, Vance discussed his experience living in a multigenerational family with his wife's parents, who immigrated from India. He praised the positive influence of having loving grandparents in his son's life, emphasizing the benefits of such familial relationships.
