John Heilemann: 'Kamala Harris' family looks like America today'

John Heilemann joins #MorningJoe to discuss night two of the DNC in Chicago, highlighting Doug Emhoff's speech. Heilemann notes that Emhoff's blended family with VP Kamala Harris represents what American families look like today:
"The picture of the Democratic Convention is a picture of what America looks like in 2024 and what it's going to look like going forward. A lot of what you see on the Republican side is very much yesterday's news."

They dont know what love and affection looks or feels like. Thats why they are all so hateful. They have never been truly and unconditionally loved.

[albertschepis]

Yes Mr. John Heilemann. You always speak the refreshing truth. Thank you!

[marilynrowland]

You nailed it, sir! This family will represent a modern American family! Best of all, Kamala has bonded with all, including Doug's ex-wife!

[LeeBrown-zibh]

The main reason I'm a Dem. The party looks, talks, celebrates, and competes like America does.🇺🇸🖖🏻💪🏾✝️

I'm diehard Republican but I know what's best for our country and Democracy, so I'm puting my pride to the side and voting Harris and Walz. I'm for voting for our future not a party.

The diversity is everything! You see people of every shade being represented! This is what America is about. This is what a President should be about.

Kamala is so fortunate to have her husband support her! Great comments. We need a change so desperately. I love my family. I am European American (Anglo) and one daughter-in law-is Hispanic (Mexican-American) and my soon to be daughter-in-law is Chinese. Love, love, Love my non-boring family.

Not going to lie I thought Doug’s speech was the best of DNC so far.

[Ittakesavillagetothrive]

I love our diverse country! ❤ America represents the world. We are beautiful and set the standard for humanities progression. We wouldn't be 'America the great' without it.
