(Jewish Group)Doug Emhoff can't text his wife. How Kamala Harris' husband is adjusting to life in DC

Second gentleman Doug Emhoff has an office on the White House grounds near the room where his wife, Kamala Harris, holds roundtables and formal events. Yet seeing her during the day can sometimes be difficult.

Harris typically works out of her West Wing office, and the pair are unable to communicate using their cellphones the way they did before she became vice president.

Sometimes the couple bump into each other in a happy accident in the hallways of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, which serves as the primary workspace for most White House staff and is home to the Vice President’s Ceremonial Office. Harris also tries to stop by her husband’s office when she is on site, Emhoff aides said.

But more often than not, if Emhoff wants to have a brief conversation with Harris, he asks his staff to find out when his wife has a window of time to meet. He and his security detail then make the short walk across the narrow street that separates the building he works in from the main part of the White House complex, where the president and vice president each have offices.

Like I really really love them as a couple.


2. I can 'relate' to them.


3. She is the luckiest woman ALIVE. Oh to be able not have The Gio text me nonsense temper tantrums all of the time!

I mean - I love him . . . but the TextTantrums I'm on the receiving end of are RIDICULOUS. Like - don't lose your shit because the squirrels knocked bird seed out of one the bird feeders. Like - that's not middle of the work day text worthy G Man.
