WaPo’s Rampell: Doug Emhoff Is a ‘Sex Symbol’ and Women’s ‘Fantasy Man’ Despite Cheating ScandalOlivia Rondeau 24 Aug 2024
The Washington Post published an opinion piece Friday calling Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff a “modern-day sex symbol,” “fantasy man,” and “ideal partner” despite reports that he impregnated his children’s nanny while married to his ex-wife.
Catherine Rampell, a political columnist at the Post and CNN commentator, wrote, “Move over, Ryan Gosling. The modern female fantasy is embodied by the man who might soon become our first First Gentleman.”
Rampell argued that Emhoff is “sexy” because he is “secure enough with his own masculinity to sometimes prioritize his wife’s ambitions over his own.”
Prior to President Joe Biden selecting Vice President Kamala Harris as his running mate in 2020, Emhoff was a partner at DLA Piper, ranked as America’s third-largest law firm by revenue in 2021 by the Wall Street Journal.
Emhoff left his job in November 2020 to work on his role as Second Gentleman in the Biden administration, a spokesperson told the Associated Press.
He later began teaching courses at Georgetown University Law Center.
Even though he remained in the law field, Rampell said that his sacrifice made him a “hunk” and dismissed the previous affair he admittedly had while married to film producer Kerstin Emhoff.
“Whatever his previous marital drama, that makes him the working woman’s ideal partner today: He’s a high-achieving alpha but isn’t threatened if his wife is, too,” the Washington Post columnist wrote.
