WASHINGTON Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, has probably toured more COVID-19 vaccination centers than he ever imagined.
If he ever imagined that at all.
His drop-ins at places where people are rolling up their sleeves for a jab of protection have become a particular focus for Emhoff as he begins to shape his groundbreaking role as SGOTUS the first second gentleman of the United States.
Emhoff settles in as second gentleman
WASHINGTON (AP) Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, has probably toured more COVID-19 vaccination centers than he ever imagined.
If he ever imagined that at all.
His drop-ins at places where people are rolling up their sleeves for a jab of protection have become a particular focus for Emhoff as he begins to shape his groundbreaking role as SGOTUS the first “second gentleman of the United States.”
It’s a sharp pivot from his past work as an entertainment lawyer.
“These shots, they work. They’re painless,” Emhoff told Bishnu Subedi, a 28-year-old recent arrival to the U.S. from Nepal, who was getting her first Pfizer vaccine shot during his recent visit to Community Health Centers of Burlington in Vermont.

History was made at the US Capitol on Wednesday night when two women – Vice President Kamala Harris and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, sat behind the President during his annual address to the nation.
Prabal Gurung, who designed Harris’s off-white suit, seized the moment, announcing on Twitter that Harris was wearing a “Hand Tailored Double Crepe Cream Suit and Ivory Silk Charmeuse Camisole,” which was “made in New York City, at the Prabal Gurung Atelier, and designed for power moments in history.”

Madam Speaker, Madam Vice President (applause) no President has ever said those words from this podium. No President has ever said those words, and it’s about time. (Applause.)
First Lady (applause) I’m her husband; Second Gentleman; Chief Justice; members of the United States Congress and the Cabinet; distinguished guests; my fellow Americans: While the setting tonight is familiar, this gathering is just a little bit different a reminder of the extraordinary times we’re in.
