Douglas Emhoff did not stop there, and he mentioned Kamala Harris’ approach toward the November election after Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race.

President Biden announced on Sunday, July 21, that he is withdrawing from the 2024 presidential race and endorsed Harris as the Democratic nominee.

Emhoff, the 59-year-old lawyer husband of Harris, said, “You heard the Vice President yesterday making the case against Donald Trump. Very clearly laid out the case, directly and in a compelling fashion.  But she also laid out a vision for the future. A vision where there's freedom.”

He continued, “Where we're not having to talk about these issues of today in this post Dobbs Hellscape that Donald Trump created. 

“…We're gonna prosecute the case against Donald Trump and his lies, his gaslighting, during Covid, the dereliction of duty, inciting an insurrection, and all those other things.”

Emhoff went on to praise Biden by calling him “a great man” and added, “Kamala Harris has united the party. She's gonna unite the country. She’s gonna earn this nomination. You see that happening and she's gonna win this election.”

Douglas Emhoff's comments came after Donald Trump reportedly called Kamala Harris “Laughing Kamala”.

The 45th President stated, “I call her ‘Laughing Kamala’... You ever watched her laugh? She’s crazy. You know, you can tell a lot by a laugh—no, she’s crazy, she’s nuts. She's not as crazy as Nancy Pelosi. Crazy Nancy.”

After everything he did, the insanity, the gaslighting, the media caving, we are here and ready to fight!!”
