Praising Harris as "joyful warrior," Emhoff shows personal side in DNC speech

Doug Emhoff, the nation's first second gentleman, introduced himself to Democratic delegates and the nation, praising his wife, Vice President Kamala Harris, for her dedication to their family and tying it to how she would approach leading the nation if elected president.

"Wherever she's needed, however she's needed, Kamala rises to the occasion. And she did it for me and my family," Emhoff said. "And now that the country needs her, she's showing you what we already know: she's ready to lead."

The second gentleman recalled his childhood growing up in New Jersey and California, to his career as an entertainment lawyer, to meeting Harris. He revealed that he first called her at 8:30 a.m.
