Vice President Kamala Harris‘ husband, Doug Emhoff, claimed during an interview this week that it was unfair for people to criticize his wife’s performance over the last three and a half years because she was not the president.
Emhoff made the remarks during a softball ABC News interview Friday morning on “Good Morning America,” which came just days after the network’s debate between Harris and former President Donald Trump that was extremely biased against the Republican nominee.
Co-anchor Michael Strahan asked Emhoff if he thought it was fair that his wife was being criticized for the numerous failings of the administration, even though she was named the border czar, bragged about being the last person in the room on Afghanistan, and was the tie-breaking vote on passing the American Rescue Plan—the legislation that triggered the inflation crisis.
“She’s the vice president, not the president. The vice president is there as part of the administration, not leading the administration,” he claimed. “So as president, she’s gonna be able to put forth her policies and plans and effectuate those.”

The Trump campaign fired back at Emhoff over the remarks, posting on X: “Second Gentleperson ‘Doug’: Kamala bears no responsibility for the Biden-Harris failures because she’s only the second most powerful person in the country, not the first.”
“Joe Biden himself has admitted that Kamala plays an enormous role in his failed administration,” the campaign said. “Kamala brags about being ‘the last person in the room’ on the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal decision. She absolutely owns every failure of the Biden-Harris administration.”
