JD Vance Reflects on Past Remarks in New Memoir

Vice President JD Vance referred to himself as 'boneheaded' in his new memoir, acknowledging his past comment where he described Democrats as 'childless cat ladies.' In the book titled *Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith*, Vance expressed regret over the remark, stating it was provocative rather than enlightening. He noted that the comment led to significant backlash both at the time and during a subsequent political campaign. Vance's original comment, made in 2021 while running for a Senate seat in Ohio, resurfaced in 2024 when Donald Trump selected him as his running mate. Vance mentioned that he could have conveyed his point about Americans' views on parenthood more effectively and cited his Christian faith as a reason for his need to be less confrontational. His memoir, which discusses his conversion to Catholicism and spiritual journey, is set for release on June 16, 2026.
