Emhoff uses convention speech to show personal side of Harris: ‘Her empathy is her strength’

Second gentlemen Doug Emhoff used his speech Tuesday night at the Democratic National Convention to paint a picture of Vice President Kamala Harris’ personal side.

“She stands up to bullies, just like my parents taught me to. She likes to see people do well but hates when they’re treated unfairly. She believes this work requires a basic curiosity and just how people are doing,” Emhoff told the Chicago audience. “Her empathy is her strength.”
