Kamala Harris is like George Washington
The very first President was unable to conceive children. He tried but his wife had four (became three) children by her previous husband.
Martha Dandridge married Daniel Parke Custis on May 15, 1750, and the couple had four children, only one of whom survived to adulthood.[1] She was widowed in 1757 at the age of 26, inheriting a large estate. She was remarried to George Washington in 1759, moving to his plantation, Mount Vernon. Her youngest daughter died of epilepsy in 1773, and the Washingtons were unable to conceive any children of their own.
So George Washington had the same arrangement as Kamala Harris. Step-parent.
If step-parentage was good enough for George Washington, it's good enough for Kamala Harris. And while we are at it, if metric was good enough for Reagan and the Army, then it is good enough for 2025.
