Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff responded to former President Trump’s derogatory nicknames for Vice President Kamala Harris, stating that Trump’s criticisms are weak compared to Harris’s strong campaigning message.
Emhoff emphasized Harris’s ability to articulate a clear vision for the future while addressing the negative impact of Trump’s policies, particularly in relation to women’s rights following the Dobbs decision.
“That’s all he’s got?” Emhoff said.
“You heard the Vice President yesterday making the case against Donald Trump,” Emhoff said.
“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. Where we’re not having to talk about these issues of today in this post Dobbs Hellscape that Donald Trump created.”
Following President Biden’s suspension of his re-election campaign, Harris launched her presidential bid and raised a record-breaking $81 million in the first 24 hours, supported by over 888,000 grassroots donors.
Emhoff proclaimed that Harris has already united the Democratic Party and has the potential to unite the country, asserting confidence in her chances for victory in the upcoming election.
“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 said.
“We’re gonna make that very clear,” Emhoff added. “She’s gonna be able to make that case. We’re also gonna move on from this type of environment, this Dobbs, where freedoms are taken away, where autonomy is taken away. Where they’re telling you, you can’t read this book. They’re telling you, you can’t learn these facts. They’re telling you, you can’t vote. All that is gonna change, and it must change.”
“You see the enthusiasm, you see the excitement,” Emhoff said. “You saw the money raised, you saw the party coalesce. You saw the broad base of support that she had in just one or two days because she’s talking about an America that we all have a place in … Kamala Harris has united the party. She’s gonna unite the country … You see that happening, and she’s gonna win this election.”
