Another gentleman. Second husband. Another dude. Despite having an official Jewish degree, Ehhof, who is Jewish, is making history in his own way, a reflection of the nation’s changing political and gender norms.
Amhoff, a successful entertainment lawyer, was a seemingly quiet and supportive presence on the campaign trail when Harris was running for president during the Democratic primary. Harris dropped out of the primary race in December and Biden joined in running as his running mate.
Amhof was moving away from the spotlight, and was often seen backstage or on the edge of the crowd playing Harry’s “Kamala” T-shirt at events. But they are active on social media, their supporters calling themselves #DougHive by modeling H. Hris and #KHive.
Last year she made a note when a protesting senator came close enough to grab her microphone after she ran on stage to save Harris.
Amhoff also defended Harris when the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., retorted a racist lie that Harris was not a black American because of race and immigration from India.
Harris and Amhof were interviewed by Harris’s best friend in 2013 when he was blindfolded. Harris and the Attorney General of California. Amhof, at the time, was divorced from Carsten Amhof, with whom she has two children, Cole and Ella.
Amhoff proposed to Harris in 2014 after Swift Courtship. He was married in a ceremony held by Harris’ sister Maya at Santa Barbara’s courthouse in later years.
“My family is everything to me. And I have a lot of titles over my career, and of course, ‘Vice President’ will be great, but ‘Momala’ will always mean the same thing,” Harris said. His first speech since Biden chose to run with him for the White House.
