Doug Emhoff Campaigns for Kamala Harris in Virginia

Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff campaigned for Vice President Kamala Harris during Labor Day events, emphasizing her pro-worker stance in contrast to former President Donald Trump, whom he labeled as self-serving. Speaking at U.S. Rep. Bobby Scott's annual cookout in Newport News, Emhoff highlighted the Biden-Harris administration's economic achievements, including labor agreements for federal projects and plans for trade apprenticeships. He underscored the importance of housing affordability as part of Harris' campaign platform. As the election nears, the Harris-Walz campaign is actively engaging Latino voters in Pennsylvania, recognizing their significant electoral influence. Emhoff's remarks reflect a broader strategy to underscore the differences in priorities between the Democratic ticket and Trump, as early voting approaches. With Biden's withdrawal from the race, Harris has rapidly ascended to the forefront of the campaign, aiming to unite Democratic support.
