The energetic Mr Emhoff was also expected to tell Democrats in Chicago about his own story and background as he looks to become the first ever “First Gentleman” to a trailblazing woman president.
“Mr Trump, I know you have so much trouble pronouncing her name,” Mr Emhoff said in a recent video, referring to Trump’s habit of mispronouncing Kamala.Mr Doug Emhoff , Ms Kamala Harris, and US President Joe Biden during the Democratic National Convention at the United Center in Chicago, on Aug 19, 2024.
