    Not that I disagree but Kamala married Doug in 2014 and has two step children, aged 29 and 25. Or 19 and 15 at the time of marriage.

    She is certainly a mother if she wants that title.

      Ah, this I was unaware of… well then those Republicans can get fucked. As a fellow parent by marriage exclusively kids are kids regardless of whether someone wants to throw a step in there… and discounting stepchildren reeks of icky eugenics bullshit.

        It’s well established that she has an excellent relationship with her kids-by-marriage, and even became close friends with their bio-mom while attending the kids’ extra-curricular activities together.

        And my personal favorite part: the kids refer to her as Momala, because step-mom just didn’t feel right to them.

          Those are fluffy facts but they put the Trump family to shame by comparison (especially with Baron coming out as yet another weirdo) and might win over some voters. I’d personally love to know more about her platform ideas but these things don’t hurt.
