Kamala Harris gains support from husband Doug Emhoff’s ex-wife amid controversy with JD Vance

Doug Emhoff committed to doing "everything in my power to make sure we win this election."

Kamala Harris's urgent campaign for the White House is in full swing, with everyone pitching in, including her husband Doug Emhoff ex-wife, Kerstin.

On Thursday, Emhoff participated as a special guest on a “Black Gay and Queer Men for Harris” conference call, where he committed to doing “everything in my power to make sure we win this election.”

“They’re throwing the kitchen sink at you. My ex-wife is in the fight. Everyone’s in the fight. We have to protect [Harris], pray for her and make sure she wins,” he said.

Doug’s ex-wife has previously defended Harris against what she described as “baseless attacks” from Donald Trump’s VP choice, JD Vance.

Kerstin, who has a son, Cole, 29, and a daughter, Ella, 25, with Doug, issued a statement criticizing Vance’s 2021 remarks, which disparaged Harris and other female public figures as “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives.”

“These are baseless attacks. For over 10 years, since Cole and Ella were teenagers, Kamala has been a co-parent with Doug and I,” Kerstin fired back in a statement to CNN.

“She is loving, nurturing, fiercely protective, and always present. I love our blended family and am grateful to have her in it,” she said.

“Friends” star, Jennifer Aniston, 55, also weighed in on the comment, telling Vance, “I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day. I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option. Because you are trying to take that away from her, too.”

Vance responded to his “cat lady” comment during an interview with Megyn Kelly on Friday.

He explained to the conservative host that his remark was directed at the “childless left.”
