JD Vance didn't just go after Kamala Harris as a "childless cat lady." At a 2021 event, he said he got bad press because most journalists are "unhappy," "miserable," and "angry" due to the fact they're "childless adults."

The latest from Noah Lanard and me....And Santos' campaign reported several of his relatives—including a mail handler, a painter, students & his sister Tiffany—made large donations totaling over $45K.
