Criticism of Kamala Harris for Being Childless in Presidential Race

Critics have raised concerns about Kamala Harris not having children, suggesting it makes her less qualified for the presidency. They argue that having children gives a stake in the future of the country, which those without children may not have. This criticism has drawn backlash from media outlets, claiming it's sexist and not a valid point. However, historical examples show that previous childless presidents were so by circumstance, unlike Harris, who made active career choices.
