    what a man that feels very comfortable in his own skin. doesn't feel intimidated by his wife's title. shout out to douglas emhoff
  • @nicx4007
    This man gave up a lucrative career that involved lots of education and hard work on his part, to support his WIFE’S dreams and goals. I don’t know what else to say except, what a dude.
  • The passion and joy and excitement on Kamala’s step daughter’s face when Doug talks about Kamala says everything we need to know about the kind of leader she is and will be!!
  • @donnelson7839
    Doug Emhoff & Michelle Obama would run rings around a lot of actual politicians
  • Wife guys unite!!!! Wife guys stand up!!! Let’s put a woman in the White House- together!!!!
  • @spacelemur7955
    This is a real man. Fearless of a strong woman to be herself and helping her however he can. No wonder his mom thinks Kamala's the lucky one! His family seems delightful, too.
  • @randomspirit
    That's the most I've ever heard him speak. What a great guy! I hope they decide to play that voice mail for all of us on Thursday. LOL
  • @user-kj7bj6vv4m
    I think he was spectacular; this is unchartered territory, he’s intelligent, amenable, and has a great sense of humor. And I know it’s for real enough for me. Freedom!
  • @StreetIntellect
    The haters on here will continue to let hatred eat the core of their being. Good luck.
  • @h.neubert8770
    A confident person who won’t let others tell him how to live. Excellent.
  • @nicolea.2147
    Watching his daughter's reactions and wiping away tears as her father speaks about Madam Vice President got my heart smiling. This was so beautiful...they are so blessed to have each other.❤
  • @QueenKimB
    This is beautiful to see him supporting his wife.
  • @edreezyforreezy
    A wedding anniversary plus an acceptance speech. Thursday is going to be a treat. 🍿🍾🍿🍿
  • My family has 8 votes ready for Kamala and Doug and Tim and Gwen in North Carolina! 🔵🌊
  • @hermanshim8948
    By the way, this Family stepping up has, India, Jamaica, Jewish roots. God Bless America.
  • @jiorts
    Jealous of this man having such a strong woman on his side😅
  • @drewmcdonald7382
    As a white Jew who aspires to be the husband to a woman who is more important than me and is more interesting to me, I look up to Doug Emhoff. He is my hero.
  • He is a role model for all white males in this country to let go of the ego, and control due to insecurity with a strong character woman with true love. Thank you, Doug Emhoff!
  • @kdbin101-1
    “Her empathy is her strength” - something we all need to learn. Wonderful speech from Emhoff!
