You're going to make a wonderful future First Gentleman Mr Emhoff.

I haven't heard Doug Emhoff speak before. He sounds like a great guy, smart, and with a sense of humor. The presidential and vice-presidential candidates and their spouses make campaigning look fun.

What a likeable family! This is what normalcy should look like—open-minded, compassionate, and able to adapt and grow together, full of love and unity. A stark contrast to Donald and his weird, bitter and hate-driven entourage.

[ludovicusclericus]

He’s so clearly in love with his wife. That’s just so beautiful.

This was a very sweet and funny speech! The voicemail story was hilarious! 😂 He nailed it!

This! This wins hearts and minds.

"...her empathy is her strength." Take that Donald.

[robynwells]

The look on their children’s faces says it all. Thank you 🙏 💙💙💙

WOW, I am speechless here, this is a true American family and true love .

[RaNiaNameste]

I just fell in love again, this time with Doug Emhoff (what a great sense of humor) like I did with Tim Walz. Two such amazing men supporting an even more amazing woman and our next President!

[joep]

Doug was a highlight along with the Obamas. There love is refreshing to see compared to trump and melania. Doug is a cool first man for America.
Kamala/Walz 2024🎉.

[AndtherewasJoy]

Wow, to hear Vice President Kamala's spouse talk about her in such a beautiful, enduring light, is so opposite of the Donald and his Melania.

[DM]

He did really well! Congrats. Good night for the Dems.

[APSSFR]

He was genuine, honest and his heartfelt speech was inspiring!

[TimmyTheTinman]

He’s such a lovable dork. How can you not love this guy?

[jessiemackenzie]

I am moved to tears in Australia
Finally, a sense of normality returning to the America I used to know, before the GOP brought Donald Trump on.

[witta]

Kamala has a beautiful laugh, and a smile that reaches her eyes...and the opposing candidate doesn't laugh at all. All I need to know. Thank you, Doug, for sharing this. Harris/Walz 2024!!!

[klaramolitva]

Gosh, he seems so genuinely warm and nice 🙂And a good speaker, too

[philomel]

From UK – wheat a great speech! What a lovely man and family.
And that speech so easily dismisses trumps accusations of Democrat antisemitism. How dare Trump wrap himself in the Israeli flag As if he’s the only defence for Jews! Here we see people from so many different backgrounds, working together That must be the future for the world. The alternative is terrifying. Watching this from another country, we are all anxious about the future of the US and the focus of the Democrats. Enjoy and love is so uplifting..
