Ostensibly, JD Vance was supposed to be talking about consumer protections in the airline industry, but at the end of his time he went off on another wild tangent about seat belt laws contributing to lower fertility in American families, another one of his crackpot theories that seem to have originated in an academic paper.

A resurfaced video clip of Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance is once again taking off on the internet as economic issues and family dynamics continue to dominate the election cycle.
This particular clip from 2023 is gaining traction because Vance indicates that car seats are preventing people from having more babies.
A TikTok of Vance made by user @WhatTheActualKaren, whose bio identifies her as "Team Kamala," shows an excerpt of his exchange with Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO president Sara Nelson at a March 2023 Senate hearing for the Committee on Commerce, Science, & Transportation.
