The mild-mannered husband of Sen. Kamala Harris, Emhoff has placed his thriving Los Angeles entertainment law practice on hold to support his wife’s bid for vice president.

The Democrat represents California in the U.S. Senate.When a collection of high-powered lawyers from across the country gather on a Zoom meeting next week that is expected to raise more than $1 million for the Democratic presidential ticket, one headliner will be a man whose name is still unfamiliar to most Americans: Doug Emhoff., Emhoff has placed his thriving Los Angeles entertainment law practice on hold to support his wife’s bid for vice president.

Douglas Emhoff and Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris walk off stage on the fourth day of the Democratic National Convention at the Chase Center in Wilmington, Del., Aug. 20, 2020. “It’s almost all Zoom stuff, which for Doug, it’s great,” one of the Democratic fundraisers said of the popular video conferencing program. “He can do 10 events in a day if he wants to.”

The campaign declined to make Emhoff available for an interview, or say how much Emhoff’s events have raised. But he has been busy. During the final week of the month, Emhoff was headlining separate events with lawyers and Jewish leaders in Florida, introducing singer-songwriter James Taylor at a fundraising event beamed out from Delaware, and speaking to a virtual caucus for the LGBT community.

“Doug is known for tackling and resolving the toughest problems -- whether by aggressively litigating high-stakes cases in the public glare or acting as a trusted advisor behind the scenes,” is how he is described on the website of his law firm, DLA Piper, which announced his leave of absence in August.

While his wife rose rapidly through the political ranks in California, Emhoff developed a track record as a litigator whose focus was in the courtroom, not the court of public opinion. In her memoir,"The Truths We Hold," Harris wrote that Emhoff had “to get used to a new kind of scrutiny” when she launched her campaign for president in January of 2019.

Loser 👎👎👎

Harris's husband is a communist!

Who gives a shit!?

Isn’t it funny that the people of color who scream the loudest about the racism and how racist white people are, Almost always are married to a white person . Hmmmmm

Figures he’s WHITE

Better go back to his business- he’s going to need it on NOV 3rd!

He’s prolly a great guy but it doesn’t change anything. Comma asked Americans to raise bail for people who are continuing to burn cities down plus she promised that riots will continue. That’s not the leadership America needs

Her bid for Presidency. Democrats are not voting for Biden, as he will never make it 4 years, they are voting for her as President.

He’s not Superman. I knew Superman, and you sir, are not like Superman.

Nice to know these politicians have the option to not earn money for a few months/years, while us common people work paycheck to paycheck. These are the people promoting socialism? Right, as if.

White privileged

Of course. She becomes president they will be extorting billions!

So, does that mean that ABC and other hack Leftist media that are Spokespeople for the DNC will dive deep into his personal finances and harass his family for having made money? Asking for a Nation.

Did he put Willie Brown in charge?

Abc is a political arm of the Democratic Party , sickening

Kamala’s husband helps racist Hollywood make movies showing Latino’s as drug dealers, gang members, servants and prostitutes. Kamala’s husband is therefore a racist and Kamala is too.

What a joke!

What a man. The perfect husband!💙🇺🇸

The Democrats played an ugly role in coVID-19 and the BLM riots to crush their opponents. They are destroying America! Now the Democrats have sunk so low as to rely on the SKIN COLOUR to win votes. Disgusting!

And if she’s anything like Nancy Pelosi her husband will get richer

Hollywood Film Producer John Paul Rice, known for famous movies such as Remember the Titans, Juno, The Hunger Games, The Grudge, A Child’s Voice speaks up on child sex trafficking in the entertainment industry, politics & more! Kindly RT w/

Hahahahaha you forget empathetic in your framing 🤣

Audacity to hope - a requisite of a happy peaceful life. Thank you

Husband of a us senator law is thriving wow I’m shocked 😱influence peddling by politicians is that possible

Willie Brown sends all his best...

With the lights off I hope!

There's no entertaining going on. That's why. Thanks Dems

That’s what’s up brother!

So brave

'Mild mannered' translations 'Willie Brown's cuck'.

What about his connection/involvement with China? Has he severed those ties?

I kinda feel sorry for this guy. He must be real beta

'Harris is in the pocket of Silicon Valley, receiving more money from the tech companies than any other Democrat candidate did. Silicon Valley’s election interference dwarfs that of Russia, China, or any other foreign nation’s and yet scarcely a word will be said about i

Well yeah. He sees how much $$$ these politicians and Their spouses make! Most have never had a real job and are all millionaires..

All that’s missing from this title is a big wet SWAK 💋

If Biden wins, his wife will be First Lady which makes Kamala’s husband 1st man...? Or... 🤷🏻‍♂️ Demorats, a pander away from communism. DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica

He must love the after taste of MILK...

What a waste of time.

Of course he is mild mannered ... he’s a Democrat 🖕🙄🖕

Keep your day job! Hate your wife!

6th Sep, We HKers demand our election back We’ve the right to demonstrate, protest, we’ve freedom of speech, we’ve human right. God damn PRC, HK police scum, who cant be regarded as human beings.

Because he's tied to China , lmfao

apparently another piece of leftie propaganda from msm

TRUMP 2020

I truly miss the days of unbiased news coverage. It should not be abut a political narrative, just the facts. ABC you are an embarrassment to journalists....

Biden’s history of selling out Americans for bribes. 1994 -crime bill (imprisoned Blacks for bribes from for profit private prison system) 2005 -Bankruptcy Act (Limited your BK protection for bribes from Credit Cards) 2015 -TPP (moves jobs to China for $1.5 billion in bribes)

The media is the enemy of the people

Way to go.

Who cares? Him and his door mat wife Kamala.

I'm sure a few of the 1,500+ other partners who work there in the US will be able to cover for him for a few months 🤣

Boeing Manager and Hijacker DBCooper

dont mess this up

“Mild-mannered”? That’s right, because a man must be a mild-mannered cuck for supporting supporting his wife’s career and not being the focal point of the relationship? This is the kind bullshit title that keeps sexism alive by characterizing him as something a normal man
