Here’s What J.D. Vance Said In The Resurfaced Video
On Thursday, July 25, footage of Senator Vance speaking at the Intercollegiate Studies Institute in Wilmington, Delaware, in 2021 surfaced. The footage initially went viral on X, formerly known as Twitter, after being posted by user @patrynard.
In the clip, Vance explained that when parents “go to the polls,” they “should have more power” than “people who don’t have kids.”
“If you don’t have as much as an investment in the future of this country, maybe you shouldn’t get nearly the same voice,” Vance explained.
Vance explained that parents should and would ultimately get a “bigger say” in how the country’s democracy functions.

Social media users reacted to Vance’s comments in The Shade Room’s comment section.
Instagram user @man2xplore wrote, “So what about the parents childless because of guns”
While Instagram user @grinchtheville._ added, “Ppl without kids should have they tax lowered too”
Instagram user @chicagoleek wrote, “If that’s the case there should be an age limit on political positions as well because someone shouldn’t be able to solely make decisions for a future they themselves won’t be apart of !”
While Instagram user @itsmsashleyg added, “We already pay more back in taxes than people with children. Now our voices also don’t matter???”
Instagram user @mz_iverson wrote, “Well stop taxing the Childless 🗣️🗣️🗣️”
While Instagram user @jessmenardy added, “This is the most messed up thought process. You’re punishing those that don’t have children? What about those that aren’t financial stable to? Or those that CANNOT have kids? Are you promoting people have children at 18 as soon as they can vote now too? This is beyond ridiculous.”
