Everything about this Doug Emhoff video is amazing

On Tuesday evening, Cole Emhoff, son of second gentleman Doug Emhoff, got a chance to step into the spotlight at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago to pay tribute to his father and to his stepmom, Kamala Harris.

For that moment, Cole created a short video celebrating his father’s relationship with the future presidential candidate, starting with what he called "the blind date that would dramatically change all of our lives forever." The video then notes how he and his sister, Ella, watched his father and the then attorney general of California fall in love while “acting like teenagers." 

"In 2014, Kamala became Momala,” he continues. “She took over Sunday night dinners and taught Doug how to actually cook." 

It’s a sweet, heartfelt tribute to both Emhoff and Harris from a son who cares deeply about them both. But what makes it even more special is that the video was produced by Kerstin Emhoff—Cole’s mother and Doug’s ex-wife. 

This is a video that represents a family. A blended, beautiful, and absolutely American family.
