WASHINGTON — Second gentleman Doug Emhoff has an office on the White House grounds near the room where his wife, Kamala Harris, holds roundtables and formal events. Yet seeing her during the day can sometimes be difficult.
Harris typically works out of her West Wing office, and the pair are unable to communicate using their cellphones the way they did before she became vice president.
Sometimes the couple bumps into each other in a happy accident in the hallways of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, which serves as the primary workspace for most White House staff and is home to the Vice President’s Ceremonial Office. Harris also tries to stop by her husband’s office when she is on site, Emhoff aides said.
