Doug Emhoff, Kamala Harris's husband, to speak at 2024 election campaign event in Portland

PORTLAND, Ore. — Vice President Kamala Harris's husband, Doug Emhoff, is set to speak at a campaign event on Portland Sunday.

The second gentleman will also be at a campaign event in Menlo Park, California.

This comes as Democratic nominee Harris is running to beat former president and Republican nominee Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election, as well as Tuesday's planned debate between both parties' vice presidential nominees, Democrat rival, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Republican Ohio Sen. JD Vance.

On Thursday, Harris was in Washington, D.C. as President Joe Biden signed an executive order that seeks to restrict new technologies that make guns easier to fire and obtain. Harris leads the first-ever White House office of gun violence prevention. A gun owner herself, though, Harris states she does not want to take weapons away from responsible firearms owners.
