Why Doug Emhoff is fighting for Harris, and every woman in America

Second gentleman Doug Emhoff did an interview with MSNBC’s Jen Psaki this weekend. The two covered a wide range of topics, including reproductive rights and antisemitism on the right. 

Emhoff has publicly advocated for men to step up and be more proactive in the fight for abortion rights, something he says goes back to his relationships with the women in his life. 

“After the Dobbs decision came down. [Kamala] called me right away. She was actually on Air Force Two and said, ‘Dougie, they actually did it,’” Emhoff recalled.

Emhoff relayed how shortly after he spoke with his wife, his then-23-year-old daughter Ella texted “We need to fight.” He received a similar response from his mother. "My 80, now 83-year-old mother is somehow going to enjoy more rights than Ella? It's wrong."
