Second gentleman Doug Emhoff is throwing himself into a new job, serving as a top surrogate for Vice President Kamala Harris‘s 2024 White House campaign.
Since Harris and President Joe Biden entered office in 2021, Emhoff has largely thrown off his old career, that of an entertainment lawyer, to fulfill the duties of any vice president’s spouse.
But after Harris supplanted Biden atop the Democratic ticket in July, Emhoff has taken a larger role with the campaign and has brought a certain “wife guy” energy to what’s effectively an audition to be the nation’s first first gentleman, Harris allies say.
According to a number of veteran Democratic operatives with close ties to Harris’s campaign, the “genuine” and “easygoing” Emhoff is the perfect cheerleader for Harris.
