<h4>How My Husband</h4>
<h4></h4>
<p><strong><a href="https://openlife.ng/">OpenLife Nigeria</a></strong> reports that former Vice President Kamala Harris has exposed details of a fight with her husband, Doug Emhoff, on her birthday in a new book, &#8216;107 Days.&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8216;The Five&#8217; discusses former Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217; finger-pointing in her new book.</p>
<p>The new book, &#8220;107 Days,&#8221; pulls back the curtain on her relationship with the first second gentleman, Doug Emhoff, recounting a scandal that rocked the early days of her short-lived presidential campaign and the fight that united them ahead of Election Day.</p>
<p>Soon after former President Joe Biden suspended his re-election campaign, <a href="https://openlife.ng/">The Daily Mail</a> reported that Emhoff&#8217;s first marriage ended following an affair with his children&#8217;s nanny. Emhoff confirmed the affair soon after the news broke last year, and, in the book, Harris lamented that &#8220;hurtful and degrading comments are, sadly, part and parcel of running for office these days.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;Where it crosses the line is when opponents go after family members,&#8221; Harris wrote. &#8220;Of course, I knew about this. Doug had told me about it when we were dating. We disclosed it during my vetting for VP.&#8221;<br />
Harris applauded her husband, whom she introduced in her book as &#8220;My Dougie,&#8221; for handling it &#8220;like the mensch that he is, issuing a statement taking responsibility and expressing regret.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Sadly,&#8221; Harris said, families are not off limits when running for president.<br />
Later in the book, Harris described &#8220;one of those fights that every married couple had,&#8221; just weeks before Election Day, after Emhoff repurposed an anniversary present for her birthday and then didn&#8217;t hear her shouting for a towel from the bath.</p>
<p>&#8220;I called Doug to ask him to bring me one. No answer. He was in the other room, watching the Dodgers eliminate the Mets in the playoffs. He couldn&#8217;t hear me over the television. I called his phone,&#8221; Harris wrote in the book.</p>
<p>When Emhoff answered casually, asking, &#8220;What&#8217;s up?&#8221; she described it as a &#8220;bridge too far,&#8221; prompting a fight fueled by the stress that &#8220;had finally gotten to both of us.&#8221;<br />
The former vice president said she was &#8220;looking forward to a special evening with Doug&#8221; on her birthday and was hoping he had planned something.</p>
<p>&#8220;Doug had been keeping his own grueling schedule and had flown in from a campaign event in Michigan. He was tired and pre-occupied,&#8221; Harris said, while complaining that he hadn&#8217;t put any thought into the hotel they were staying at that night or what they would have for dinner.</p>
<p>&#8220;It turned out to be a bland establishment whose red-and-black decor looked like it hadn&#8217;t been redone since the &#8217;70s. The only distinguished feature of the room was its larger size, but the curtains were broken,&#8221; Harris complained in her book.<br />
Harris said her husband &#8220;stopped the argument cold,&#8221; reminding the presidential candidate, &#8220;We can&#8217;t turn on each other.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;With the hits coming from every direction, we have to stay united,&#8221; Harris wrote. &#8220;Back-to-back, swords raised against all outside attacks. We had to protect each other, be each other&#8217;s pillars of strength, givers and receivers of patience and unconditional love.&#8221;</p>
<p>Like many political couples, unconfirmed rumors have swirled since she lost the election that Harris and Emhoff could get divorced.</p>
<p>But after their fight, Harris described how she started to find notes on her pillow &#8220;in Doug&#8217;s chicken scratch, telling me how much he loved me.&#8221;</p>
<p>The day after Harris&#8217; birthday, her social secretary, Storm Horncastle, told Emhoff, &#8220;Mr. Second Gentleman, you have to fix this,&#8221; Harris wrote.</p>
<p>&#8220;She handed him a set of note cards. She&#8217;d numbered them one through five, for the nights we&#8217;d be apart through the end of the campaign. She instructed him to write a note on each one,&#8221; Harris wrote.</p>
<p>Emhoff has two children from his first marriage, Cole and Ella, who famously refer to the former vice president as &#8220;Momala.&#8221;<br />
Harris said her best friend introduced them, admitting she &#8220;had kissed a lot of frogs before fate&#8221; brought her Emhoff.</p>
<p>She described in the book how &#8220;politics isn&#8217;t built for male spouses.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;In D.C., there are long-standing social structures and well-understood roles for wives. Not for the very few husbands,&#8221; she said in the book.<br />
Harris&#8217; office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital&#8217;s request for comment on the divorce rumors.</p>
