Second gentleman Doug Emhoff called Minnesota first lady Gwen Walz to welcome her to the team, sharing a video on X on Tuesday afternoon.
"Holy smokes. Thank you for taking my call. That's so considerate. Thank you," Walz said.
"So just like Dr. [Jill] Biden was there for me who had been through it, and I've been through it, I'm gonna be there for you. We're gonna do this together," Emhoff said.

Gov. Tim Walz will tout Vice President Kamala Harris' history as a prosecutor, senator and vice president at their joint rally tonight in Philadelphia, according to excerpts from his speech that were released ahead of the event.
"She took on predators and fraudsters, took down transnational gangs, stood up against powerful corporate interests, she's never hesitated to reach across the aisle if it meant improving people's lives. And -- she brings joy to everything she does," the excepts read.
The governor is also expected to speak about his experiences from his days as a teacher to legislating as an elected official.
"These same values I learned on the family farm and tried to instill in my students, I took to Congress and the state capital, and now, Vice President Harris and I are running to take them to the White House," the excerpts read.
"Donald Trump -- he sees the world differently. He doesn't know the first thing about service -- because he’s too busy serving himself," the excerpts read.
