When an animal rights protester leapt on stage Saturday to confront Kamala Harris, one of the people who rushed onstage to grab him was her husband Doug Emhoff—a man unknown to most voters, but who is a constant presence at her side on the campaign trail.
By the time Emhoff confronted the protester in a man-bun who was addressing the crowd with the microphone he'd grabbed from Harris, the California senator had already calmly walked off stage; and Karine Jean-Pierre, the president of MoveOn and a veteran political operative, had stepped in between the protester and Harris to de-escalate the situation that occurred midway through the MoveOn forum in San Francisco.
This is what Kamala Harris' stepchildren call her 00:59"I was determined not to insert myself in their lives until Doug and I had established we were in this for the long haul. Children need consistency; I didn't want to insert myself into their lives as a temporary fixture because I didn't want to disappoint them. There's nothing worse than disappointing a child," Harris wrote in a piece in Elle Magazine on Mother's Day.
