Kamala Harris faces criticism for not allowing the Vance family to tour their new home before moving in
Los Angeles: A young mom in California had to evacuate her home due to wildfires. She shared a touching tweet about her daughter packing her stuffed animals before they fled. It really hit home for many parents.
These wildfires are affecting everyone, rich and poor alike. Even Vice President Kamala Harris had to evacuate. It’s a tough reminder of what home means, especially for kids.
This week, Harris should really get that feeling. But a recent CBS News report showed her refusing to let JD Vance and his family tour the vice president’s residence before they move in. That’s just not cool.
Vance’s family, including their three young kids, will see their new home for the first time on move-in day. Imagine how unsettling that must be for them after all the changes they’ve been through.
These kids have been through a lot with their dad’s campaign and his time as a senator. It’s been a whirlwind, and now they’re facing another big change without even knowing what their new home looks like.
Moving can be really hard on kids. When my family moved, we let our kids explore the new place and pick their rooms. It made the transition easier. But the Vance kids won’t get that chance.
Usha Vance, JD’s wife, even tried to reach out to Harris’ team for details on making the home safe for their kids. It’s been ages since a family with young children lived there, and it’s not set up for them.
Some of Harris’ supporters defended her, saying she didn’t get a tour before moving in either. But that just sounds like kids arguing about who started it. It’s disappointing to see someone who calls herself “Momala” act this way.
This is the Vance kids’ first taste of life in Washington, and it’s a pretty sad introduction. Harris’ actions show a lack of empathy, especially towards the children of her political rivals.
Her behavior here reflects why she struggled in the past. People see through the act. It’s clear she’s not the kinder, gentler leader she claimed to be. Instead, she comes off as a political player who’s more about revenge than compassion.
As a mom, I can’t help but feel for the Vance family. It’s a tough situation, and it’s hard to believe that someone in Harris’ position wouldn’t show a little more kindness.
