HuffPost
The second gentleman explained how he was set up on a blind date.
Second gentleman Doug Emhoff used part of his Tuesday speech at the Democratic National Convention to share a little more about his wife, Vice President Kamala Harris — including the awkward story of how they met.
Emhoff, a lawyer, said a client passed along Harris’ phone number and offered to set him up on a blind date.
“For generations, people have debated when to call the person you’re being set up with. And never in history has anyone suggested 8:30 a.m.,” Emhoff joked.
“And yet, that’s when I dialed. I got Kamala’s voicemail, and I just started rambling.”
He affected a bumbling voice as he recalled the voicemail he left: “Hey, it’s Doug. I’m on my way to an early meeting. Again, it’s Doug.”
