Vice President Kamala Harris’ bid for the White House has seen an unexpected level of involvement from those close to her, including her husband Doug Emhoff’s ex-wife, Kerstin. In a recent “Black Gay and Queer Men for Harris” call, Doug Emhoff participated and pledged to do everything in his power to ensure Harris wins the election. This included a heartfelt plea to protect Harris from the ongoing attacks and baseless accusations being thrown at her, even from Donald Trump’s VP pick, JD Vance. Kerstin, in defense of Harris, took a stand against Vance’s comments branding Harris and other female public figures as “childless cat ladies,” emphasizing the loving and nurturing co-parenting relationship Harris shares with Doug and Kerstin’s children.
