WASHINGTON — Second gentleman Doug Emhoff has emerged as a go-to fundraiser for the Democratic Party leading into the 2022 midterms.
Emhoff has racked up more appearances at fundraisers benefiting the Democratic National Committee than any other White House principal besides his wife, Vice President Kamala Harris, and is expected to appear this summer at a number of state party political functions.
The affable spouse of the vice president has been a draw for donors, current and former Democratic Party officials say. The party officials said it also helps that Emhoff, who teaches part time at Georgetown Law and does not have any summer classes, is willing and available to raise money and travel.
