Politics incentivizes making simple questions complicated, so, inevitably, we will turn to asking whether Douglas Emhoff, a 56-year-old, robustly male American attorney who is permanently leaving his law firm for his wife's career, can handle the job of being married to Vice-President Elect Kamala Harris... which he already does.
It is not, in itself, a completely absurd question. Being the vice president's husband carries with it more burdens than the average lout married to more a capable woman; call it the Homer Simpson Continuum.
In truth, though, the question of how Emhoff will handle being the first "second gentlemen" is less about the burdens of the role itself and more about the supposed psychological weight on his man-shoulders of holding down a supposed woman's gig, and whether it will fully crush his fragile male ego.
But if living in Kamala Harris's shadow was going to be a problem for Doug Emhoff, it probably would have come up during their first date, when she was the attorney general of California. And, honestly, when being married to the vice president of the United States would be an extremely good problem for anyone else to have, it's also probably a good problem for Emhoff to have.
Leaving aside his fantastically interesting wife and his proximity to power, this is the supposed conundrum he faces: He must live in beautiful public housing with excellent government healthcare, share in a six-figure family income and have no obligation to do anything other than meaningful charity work reflecting his values, all to be close to the woman he loves.
For more than a few men of recent vintage, I can't imagine another response: Don't threaten me with a good time.

Has Kamala quit HER job yet? As of yesterday, I read that she hadn’t given it up. Maybe she thinks there is SMALL chance she won’t be president - oh, i mean VICE President
Cuckhold that borrows her kneepads.
“his fantastically interesting wife”
Yeah, sluts who screw politicians to get cash are always REELY interesting
What’s even more interesting is the reality that the cuckold Emhoff is the only family she has in this country save her father who’s close to checking out.
If as is likely she becomes President (no, the Rats won’t kick her aside as wishful thinkers here believe) she’ll rule over a nation of people that have 14 generations behind them in this nation and she has none. Not even a cousin.
In what way is this nobody from nowhere connected to our country? She didn’t even go to high school here.
That’s exactly right. He didn’t resign to be 1st Gentleman, he resigned so he could manage selling influence through Kamala.
This Emhoff guy worked for DLA Piper, which was partnered with Smartmatic voting machine company, but no one seems to care.
That in itself is a full-time job.
“he reviews Hallmark movies”
WTF?
Kamala’s squeeze is a “56-year-old, robustly male American”. Must be a Trumper.
She hasn’t resigned her senate job yet. I think she knows she won’t actually become VP. Of course he doesn’t have the sense to wait and see, but then he married....her...
Lol!
Better get a new job, Doug!!!!
“Robustly male” what is next well endowed photoshops like rolling stone did with al gore?It is going to be a long 4 years if we can’t win this!
Well tickle my uvula.
Get off your knees kamals haira## is already bet you to it
Feel some pity for Doug. After all, the rest of his life he’s known as the dude who got stuck with sloppy seconds from ‘the San Francisco Treat’.
Second gentleman? That sounds like being a day late and a dollar short.
How does he get on with Willie Brown at social events?
I think the whole article was sarcastic.
