Doug Emhoff, Vice President Kamala Harris’ husband and the second gentleman, delivered a heartfelt speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Emhoff, introduced by his son, Cole, aimed to portray Harris as the anchor of their family and provide a more personal introduction of her to Americans.

This speech by Emhoff comes at a crucial time as Vice President Harris is working to familiarize herself with the American public. This effort follows President Joe Biden's decision to not seek reelection, placing Harris in a prominent position within the Democratic Party.

If Harris is elected, Emhoff would make history as the country's first “first gentleman” come January. This potential milestone highlights the evolving landscape of American politics and the changing dynamics within the White House.
