On FNC’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) addressed Democratic attempts to label him as “weird,” suggesting it reflects their own unusual views, particularly on issues like transgender treatment for minors and allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports.
Vance emphasized his identity as a husband and father, stating his focus is on public service and addressing the challenges posed by the current administration.
“What do you say about this new strategy to call you weird from the Democrats?” Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo asked.

“I think that it’s a lot of projection, frankly, Maria, from people who want to give transgender hormones to 9-year-old kids and want biological males to play in women’s sports,” Vance said.
“Look, I’m a husband, I’m a father, I’m happily married, and I love my life. And I’m doing this because I want to be a good public servant who fixes the problems of the Democrats. They can call me whatever they want to. The middle school taunts don’t bother me. What bothers me and what offends me is what Kamala Harris has done to this country over 3.5 years. She’s opened up the American southern border. She cast a deciding vote on things that caused skyrocketing inflation, an affordability crisis.”
He criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for contributing to issues such as rising inflation and a housing affordability crisis in Georgia due to high interest rates and increased immigration.
Vance expressed confidence that he and Trump would prevail in the upcoming election, urging Democrats to stop damaging the country.
“I mean, I was in Georgia yesterday,” he said.
“They have a terrible housing affordability problem in the state of Georgia, Maria, because Kamala Harris shot interest rates through the roof, and then she welcomed in millions of illegal aliens to compete with Americans for scarce homes. So I don’t care what they call me. I just wish they would stop screwing up the country. And because I don’t think they’re able to do that themselves, President Trump and I are going to beat them in November.”
