It's the Brian Lera Show on WNYC. Good morning, everyone.

So in a week when Donald Trump was preparing a rally on Long Island to try to woo suburban swing voters around the country,

figured he'd get attention in many suburban districts from that, and try to help New York

Republicans, in particular, in suburban swing districts, running for Congress or running for

reelection to Congress, the party escalated the childless cat lady attack on Kamala Harris.

Here is Trump's former press secretary, if you haven't heard this yet, now the governor

of Arkansas, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, at a rally this week.

Not only do my kids serve as a permanent reminder of what's important, they also keep me

humble.

You can walk into a room like this where people cheer when you step onto the stage and you might

Then you go home and your kids remind you very quickly, you're actually not that big of a deal.

And ours are pretty good at it. So my kids keep me humble. Unfortunately, Kamala Harris doesn't have

anything keeping her humble. All right. So what happened yesterday in response to that? Well, here is the second gentleman of the

United States, Vice President Harris's husband, Doug Emhoff, who went public yesterday with a response.

You know, the latest hit on Kamala, did you see what they said? This one is unbelievable.

They said that somehow because Kola aren't Kamala, did you see what they said? This one is unbelievable. They said that somehow because Kolella aren't Kamla's quote unquote biological children,

that she doesn't have anything in her life to keep her humble.

As if keeping women humble, whether you have children or not, is something we should strive for.

It is not.

As if keeping women humble is something we should strive for, never mind the fact that she's in a blended family with stepchildren who are very close to her and very involved with her and she with them.

So it was against that backdrop in the campaign news headlines that Trump came to Long Island.
