Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff |
Posted: April 25, 2021 |
Second gentleman or second husband or second guy. Regardless of what formal title you want to give him, Douglas Emhoff, who is Jewish, is making history in his own right, a reflection of the nation's changing gender and political norms. The second family will be a "first" for everything. She, Kamala Harris, will be the first woman to hold the vice presidency and he, Douglas Emhoff, will be the first second gentlemen. Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff was born in Brooklyn and graduated in law from the University of Southern California, Emhoff is an attorney and partner of the law firm Dla Piper. He specializes in entertainment and intellectual property. An occupation from which he has for the moment departed, taking his leave to avoid potential conflicts of interest.
A lover of golf and fantasy football, Doug has two daughters from his first marriage: Cole and Ella. Great supporters of Harris, who for them is “Momala”. Harris herself claims that the nickname Momala was given to her by her husband's children because they preferred it instead of calling her stepmother. In his first speech, Kamala had declared: “My family means everything to me. And I've had many titles throughout my career, and certainly, 'Vice President' will be great, but 'Momala' will always be what it means most. " Emhoff was a mostly quiet and supportive presence during the election campaign when Harris was running for president during the Democratic primary. Harris dropped out of primary racing in December and joined Biden as his running mate in August. The arrival of Kamala and Doug at Number One Observatory Circle, the home of the Second Family, thus reflects the change taking place in American society and politics, offering hope and a model for gender activists. Since Joe Biden has chosen Kamala Harris as his political partner, thus preparing her to potentially go down in history as the first woman to be elected vice president of the country, it may be time to turn our attention to another interesting component of the matter.
