Vance reportedly told donors Harris was threat in new blow to Trump campaign

Remarks by Ohio senator emerge as Trump attempts to soften VP pick's childless cat ladies' comment

JD Vance reportedly admitted to Republican donors this weekend that Kamala Harris was a threat and a sucker punch", the latest in a string of recent and past remarks that have been seen to undermine the campaign and that led Donald Trump to try to soften his vice-presidential pick's description of Democrats as childless cat ladies".

The leaked remarks about Harris were themselves quickly followed on Tuesday by the publication of a previously unseen video of Vance telling an interviewer that not having kids in your life" makes people more sociopathic" and makes the US a little bit less mentally stable".
