While speaking to the audience, the mom of two —Spencer, 3, and Katherine “Kit,” 5 — opened up about her support for PresidentJoe Biden’s reelection campaign, sharing that her reason is “because of my kids.”
Laughing, she continued, “I have never felt so hot or that my daughter was being a little bit racist … it’s fine.”

In an interview withWSJ. Magazinelast month, the actress opened up about howmotherhood has changed her perspective on life.
“It’s really rewarding, being a mom and spending time with these two people who look like me,” Kaling shared. “I love them, and they’re so funny. In terms of my career, I’m a single mom, I’m the breadwinner in the house.”
“So there’s a lot of panic that comes with that, the buck stops with me, I have to earn money for them. Having kids is everything — wanting to be a good role model and wanting to produce content that doesn’t embarrass them and makes them proud is another layer to my life and a complication that I welcome.”
In December, Kaling shared anInstagramvideo montage of clipsfrom her family’s Thanksgiving celebrationin New York City. The clips featured Kit and Spencer having fun taking in the Big Apple.
“Seriously needed this trip to New York with the family. I feel like Michael Scott saying this but man this is the most special city,” Kaling captioned the post, referring toSteve Carell’sThe Officecharacter.
“The kids saw their first Broadway show, skated at @wollmanrink, had drippy hot cheese at the Bryant Park holiday fair, went on the subway, Central Park carousel, ate Lilac chocolates, and even somehow made public bathroom trips fun. Thanks New York!”
