1. He's going to be great! In fact...he's ALREADY great. ♥ n/t

[onecaliberal]

2. That was inspiring.

I can’t wait for there to be top shelf people across the government solving problems again.

[MontanaMama]

3. I haven't seen any news

that Mother Pence has reached out to Doug Emhoff at all. Seriously though, he’s going to be a fabulous Second Gentleman! Can’t wait to see how he handles his role.

4. Jill's gonna also give him some pointers.

[musclecar6]

5. Yep

A secure man with high emotional intelligence wants to be with a strong smart very capable woman like Kamala. He’s a successful attorney in his own right, so he will be a wonderful partner for his wife.

6. I'm smiling from just watching this.

He is going to be outstanding. This is so cool and he seems perfect for the role. We are really lucky in that pair. Well, all 4 of them.

8. Same here.

I watched it like five times!

[Biophilic]

11. LOL really? I need to go back and do that also.

It's good to smile and laugh. Thanks.

[demmiblue]

15. What can I say?

I am filled up to the brim with watching the news far more than I should... I needed this smile moment (plus, I wish I could walk around in wonder in that building)!

[Biophilic]

17. I'm with you about walking around in that building. Awesome.

[crickets]

7. It's going to be so much fun to follow his tweets and get to know him better over time.

The family Zoom call is adorable. They're all so sweet and normal. Yay! I want to learn how to make black-eyed peas the Harris way, too.

9. Such a joy to see the literate and curious moving in

That is all

[MoonRiver]

10. What a stand up guy!

So happy he's on the Team!

[MagickMuffin]

12. What a 1st Second Gentleman he will make, so proud of our Party

I was surprised that they didn't require the traditional use of the cloth gloves while handling the documents.

[electric_blue68]

28. I thought about protective gloves too!

[electric_blue68]

29. I thought about protective document gloves too!

Visited the LOC like ? 50 yrs ago!? Beautiful!

(been in DC many times since 🙂 )

[tblue37]

13. He might well end up being the first First Gentleman as well!

[MustLoveBeagles]

14. K&R

[NNadir]

16. I am deeply honored to have this family in our national life. n/t.

[treestar]

18. A good guy.

A good husband too. Really embracing the role.

[onetexan]

24. And defining it too. He's fitting into the role very well, and i'm glad he'll be working as a law

professor.

[SpankMe]

19. I wonder if Mrs. Pence has invited him to tea yet? n/t

[Faygo Kid]

20. Maybe he would prefer a beer and some wings.

I'm sorry, I'm not a sexist by any means, but he is after all the Second Dude. And I like him and the VP very much.

[demmiblue]

21. Shite, I didn't know drinking tea was only something women enjoy.

Interesting. And, as a woman, I would rather have a beer than tea. Stupid stereotypes are stupid.

[electric_blue68]

26. Captain Picard - Earl Grey Tea 😁 😉

[Historic NY]

22. LOC bought Thomas Jefferson Library...

I spend lots of time sifting through their digital offering, my only problem is getting distracted by the unexpected stuff. I have been wandering 1839 newspapers for an obituary of Capt. Charles Ludlow USN, no luck yet other than many letters.

[disndat]

23. He's a cool cat

He named his children from a previoua marriage after Coltrane and Ella fitzgerald,
Ella and Cole. An extra gift from the Biden team.

[demmiblue]

27. Hunh, I did not know that!

[smirkymonkey]

32. I love that!

The more I know about him, the more I like. He is a righteous dude.

Ella Fitzgerald is one of my all time favorites! It's so cool that he named his daughter after her! Love Cole for Coltrane as well.

[electric_blue68]

25. This was wonderful to watch! Thx!

[Irish_Dem]

30. It is going to be exciting to see what this impressive man does with his role.

We are lucky to have such talented people.

[JI7]

31. It's important for people to see different people in different roles

Think of young kids who remember Obama as the first President they are aware of. Then there would be Trump for 4 years and then a Democratic Ticket with a black woman married to a jewish man.

And for people to see a man get get totally behind his wife and her career. Giving up his and moving and changing things for her career advancement.
