Kamala Harris' stepson Cole Emhoff paid tribute to his father, second gentleman Doug Emhoff, and how the vice president became part of their blended family, in a video posted on social media ahead of Emoff's DNC speech tonight.
"In 2014, Kamala became Momala," Cole Emhoff said. "She took over Sunday night dinners and taught Doug how to actually cook."
"Our blended family wasn't used to politics or the spotlight, but when Kamala became senator, we were all excited to step up -- especially my dad," Cole Emoff added. "Then, Kamala became vice president. It felt like Doug was a bit out of place on Capitol Hill. I thought: 'What is my goofy dad doing here?'"
