The NPR network will be reporting live from Chicago all week to bring you Latest news on the Democratic National Convention.
Kerstin Emhoff, Doug Emhoff’s first wife and mother of two children, is at the Democratic National Convention to support her ex-husband, Democratic presidential candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris.
During the DNC’s second night of festivities, Cole Emhoff introduced his father with a touching video about his life, family and relationship with Harris. Kerstin Emhoff shared on social media that she and her production company, Ventureland, helped produce the video.
So far, she has been seen every night of the DNC, standing with her children and the Emhoff family to cheer on Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
The Emhoff children, Cole and Ella, were very close to Harris, whom they called “Momala”.
Harris has previously written about their complicated family and close relationship with Kerstin Emhoff. She wrote in Elle last month“Kerstin and I get along really well and are best friends. She and I have become the cheerleaders in the stands at Ella’s swimming and basketball meets, often embarrassing Ella. We sometimes joke that our modern family is a little too real.”
