Douglas Emhoff, husband of Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, will leave his job at one of the nation’s largest law firms in January to focus on supporting the incoming Biden administration, a campaign representative said Tuesday.
Emhoff took a leave of absence from the law firm, DLA Piper, in August after now President-elect Joe Biden, a Democrat, named Harris as his running mate. Biden, who faced President Donald Trump on November 3, took office on Saturday.
A representative for Biden’s campaign said Tuesday that Emhoff will sever all ties with DLA Piper before inauguration day, Jan.20, 2021.
Emhoff joined DLA Piper from the Venable LLP law firm in 2017.
His clients include the creators of the movie “American Made” and National Football League wide receiver Willie Gault, as well as corporations Merck and Walmart, court records show.
Harris and Emhoff have been married since 2014, when she was serving as the California attorney general. She became a United States Senator from California in 2017.
