Kamala Harris and Douglas Emhoff are celebrating six years of marriage.
Emhoff and Harris were set up on a blind date in 2013 by a close friend when she was serving as California's Attorney General. The politician detailed their first meeting in her book,revealing that Emhoff first texted her from a Lakers game and called her the next day leaving a long voicemail.
“He thought his voicemail had been disastrous and that he’d likely never hear from me again,” Harris wrote at the time, per . “He had to restrain himself from calling again and leaving another long-winded message trying to explain the first one.”“I’m too old to play games or hide the ball,” the email read. “I really like you, and I want to see if we can make this work.”
Emhoff proposed to Harris about a year later, and she accepted. Harris became stepmom -- or"Momala," as they call her -- to Emhoff's two grown children, and Emhoff established himself as her No. 1 fan, often accompanying her on the campaign trail. is November 3, 2020 - head over to Vote.org to register to vote and get the latest information.
