- Aniston condemned Vance's stance on reproductive rights and in vitro fertilization (IVF), sharing her own fertility struggles publicly.
- "I truly can’t believe this is coming from a potential VP of The United States," she said on her Instagram stories. "All I can say is… Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day. I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option. Because you are trying to take that away from her, too."
- Ella Emhoff, Harris' stepdaughter, defended her mother and also criticized Vance's comments on social media.
- Buttigieg also responded, sharing a personal heartbreak in his adoption journey, and questioned Vance's judgments.
