Much ado about Doug: second gentleman takes spotlight at Shakespeare debate

Doug Emhoff, Kamala Harris's husband, argues in a mock trial hosted by the Shakespeare Theatre Company and presided over by Stephen Breyer

I haven't been in court for a few years, so excuse me if I'm a bit rusty," said Doug Emhoff. You know, not too much has changed in my life - except for the Secret Service, Air Force Two, the selfies, the cameras following me everywhere, and oh: my wife is the vice-president of the United States."

The theatre erupted in whoops and clapping. Kamala Harris, sitting in the fifth row with her sister Maya, blew kisses through a black face mask and applauded her husband.
