Trump said in an interview on Fox News that he did not place a higher value on people with families.
“You know, you don’t meet the right person, or you don’t meet any person. But you’re just as good, and in many cases, a lot better than a person that’s in a family situation,” Trump said.
Harris has two stepchildren with her husband, lawyer Doug Emhoff. Emhoff’s ex-wife has called such attacks “baseless” and described Harris as a “loving, nurturing, fiercely protective” co-parent.
Trump said Vance, who had a tough upbringing in Ohio and was largely raised by his grandmother, was simply trying to show how much he values family life.
“He grew up in a very interesting family situation, and he feels family is good. And I don’t think there’s anything wrong in saying that,” Trump said.
In the Fox interview, Trump also did little to clear up questions over whether he will participate in a Sep 10 debate with Harris. The event had been previously scheduled against Biden.
“I’ll probably end up debating,” Trump said. “But I can also make a case for not doing it.”
