Gwen Walz Criticizes JD Vance on Fertility Comments

Gwen Walz, the first lady of Minnesota, criticized Republican Senator JD Vance during her first solo campaign event, responding to his comments suggesting that teachers without biological children should not be educators. Walz, who has openly discussed her family's struggles with infertility and fertility treatments, urged Vance to 'mind his own business,' highlighting the personal nature of the issue for many Americans. Her remarks were a direct response to Vance's past critiques of teachers like Randi Weingarten, which resurfaced recently. Walz also addressed Donald Trump's controversial stance on fertility treatments, asserting that his past actions have endangered access to IVF. She emphasized the importance of truth in education, declaring that voters should not be misled by politicians attempting to rewrite their records. The event resonated with attendees, particularly educators, who applauded her passionate defense of reproductive rights.
