Kamala Harris book reveals marital rift with Doug Emhoff during campaign
Fox News ^ | October 1, 2025 | Deirdre Heavey

Posted on 10/01/2025 6:26:37 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Former Vice President Kamala Harris' new book, "107 Days," pulls back the curtain on her relationship with the first second gentleman, Doug Emhoff, recounting a scandal that rocked the early days of her short-lived presidential campaign and the fight that united them ahead of Election Day.

Soon after former President Joe Biden suspended his re-election campaign, The Daily Mail reported that Emhoff's first marriage ended following an affair with his children's nanny. Emhoff confirmed the affair soon after the news broke last year, and in the book, Harris lamented that "hurtful and degrading comments are, sadly, part and parcel of running for office these days."

"Where it crosses the line is when opponents go after family members," Harris wrote, adding, "Of course, I knew about this. Doug had told me about it when we were dating. We disclosed it during my vetting for VP."

Harris applauded her husband, whom she introduced in her book as "My Dougie," for handling it "like the mensch that he is, issuing a statement taking responsibility and expressing regret."

"Sadly," Harris said, families are not off limits when running for president.

Later in the book, Harris described "one of those fights that every married couple had," just weeks before Election Day, after Emhoff repurposed an anniversary present for her birthday and then didn't hear her shouting for a towel from the bath.

Only part that made it somewhat believable was the little plaque in the motel room:
Hunter Biden Slept Here. Son of the President.

He got upset constantly hearing her referred to as Willie Brown’s sperm bank?

That might be the reason, the one who “did” Bill Clinton in the Oval Office, is still single. No guy wants to have to admit that fact either.

“Harris said her best friend introduced them, admitting she “had kissed a lot of frogs before fate” brought her Emhoff.”

Weird.I have never heard of men’s genitals being referred to as ‘frogs’.

“and then didn’t hear her shouting for a towel from the bath.”

Someone who can’t even plan ahead to have a towel available after a bath shouldn’t be President.

Married for convenience I assume. She had never been married nor had children and married him at 50. At the time, I think she was looking ahead at national politics and thought a single chick was not gonna make it on the big stage.
