The Daily Mail reported that on November 7, Kamala Harris made history as the first woman, the first person of color and the first South Asian woman to be elected Vice President of the United States.
Thanks to that, Mr. Doug Emhoff - Kamala Harris' husband - will now also be on the record list when he becomes the first Vice President in the history of the United States. In addition, Emhoff is also the first jewish in history to marry a US Vice President.
On the morning of November 7, Mr. Emhoff celebrated his wife Harris' historic victory with a tight and warm hug, just minutes after media outlets announced the winner. Sharing a sweet moment on his personal Twitter, Doug Emhoff captioned: ''Proud of you''.
Doug Emhoff, 56, exactly a week older than Harris, is a Judge born in Brooklyn, New York. Since Emhoff was a teenager, his parents Mike and Barb moved the family to southern California, USA. The couple, both 56, were arranged by friends to meet on an underground date in 2013 and quickly got married a year later in Santa Barbara court on August 22, 2014.
While Ms. Harris has a famous public service career, Mr. Emhoff also has his own success story. He is a powerful lawyer in the entertainment industry with an annual salary of up to 1 million USD.
Kamala Harris is Mr. Doug Emhoff's second marriage. He was previously married to film producer Kerstin Mackin, and has two now-adult children Cole and Ella.
Harris has also become close to the children, who call her 'Momala' because they don't like to call her stepmother. Harris even has a close relationship with the children's mother - Mackin, Emhoff's first wife.
Kamala Harris wrote about her family in her book: We have truly succeeded. Sometimes we joked that our modern family is almost too much functional''.
It is not yet clear what role Mr. Doug Emhoff will take in the White House, but over the past several months, he has been a regular presence and actively participated in Kamala Harris' mobilization activities. Mr. Emhoff is also said to have a close relationship with former Vice President's wife Jill Biden - who will soon be the first wife of President-elect Joe Biden.
