Douglas Emhoff, the husband of United States Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, has reportedly quit his job at a private law firm as he sets to assume a White House role.
The 56-year-old has numerous years working experience at the Law firm DLA Piper, practising law in intellectual property and technology and its media, as well as in the sports and entertainment sector.
When the Biden administration takes over, Emhoff would enter record books as America`s first ‘second gentleman.’
He had been on leave from his law firm DLA Piper since Kamala Harris joined the Biden ticket.
Emhoff decision is no doubts a part of Biden administration`s focus on avoiding potential ethical issues as it strives to be in sharp contrast with the current Trump administration.
