Doug Emhoff Recounts His Love Story In DNC Speech

USA Today reports:

Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff took to the stage at the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday night with a deeply personal story about his wife, Vice President Kamala Harris. Instead of talking about her campaign platform, political background, or prosecutorial chops, he shared the details of how they first met.

Emhoff, who worked as an entertainment litigator in Los Angeles until Harris was elected vice president, recalled how his client offered to set him up on a blind date in 2013. Then divorced, Emhoff agreed, and found himself with Harris’ phone number.
