PORTLAND, Ore. — On Sunday, Vice President Kamala Harris's husband, Doug Emhoff, spoke at a campaign event in Portland.
The second gentleman delivered remarks at the campaign reception for the Harris-Walz campaign and Democrats down the ballot. The reception was hosted by Carol Butler and Win McCormack, according to a press release from the Harris-Walz campaign.
Emhoff is also speaking at a campaign event in Menlo Park, California Sunday.
This came as Democratic nominee Harris is running to beat former president and Republican nominee Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election, as well as Tuesday's planned debate between both parties' vice presidential nominees, Democrat rival, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Republican Ohio Sen. JD Vance.
On Thursday, Harris was in Washington, D.C. as President Joe Biden signed an executive order that seeks to restrict new technologies that make guns easier to fire and obtain. Harris leads the first-ever White House office of gun violence prevention. A gun owner herself, though, Harris states she does not want to take weapons away from responsible firearms owners.
