The subject of politicians without biological children made a wave of fresh headlines this week after a 2021 video resurfaced in which Sen. JD Vance , the Republican vice-presidential nominee, described Vice President Harris and other Democrats as “childless cat ladies” in an interview with Tucker Carlson.
Barbara Perry, a professor of presidential studies at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center, said American politicians have long campaigned alongside their families to try to appeal to would-be constituents. In the 1950s, sitcoms such as “Leave It to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” helped cement the idea of a traditional family.“This norm of a big, American, happy family really took off,” Perry said.
