Vice President Kamala Harris' husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, led a rousing speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Tuesday, touting the values of his wife, and proclaiming her ready to serve the American people.
Emhoff has been highly visible on the campaign trail, most recently hitting back against former President Donald Trump for his recent attacks on her multiracial identity.
"Whenever she’s needed, however she’s needed, Kamala rises to the occasion," said Emhoff. "She did it for me and our family. Now that the country needs her, she’s showing you what we already know: she’s ready to lead, she brings both joy and toughness to this task, and she will be a great president who we will all be proud of."
Emhoff went on to describe Harris as a "joyful warrior" for the country.

"It's doing for her country what she has always done for the people she loves. Her passion will benefit all of us when she's our President," he said. "Here’s the thing about joyful warriors: they’re still warriors. And Kamala is as tough as it comes.”
“America, in this election, you have to decide who to trust with your family’s future," Emhoff continued. "I trusted Kamala with our family’s future. It was the best decision I ever made.”
