Emhoff to speak in Oxford on behalf of Harris-Walz campaign

Second gentleman Doug Emhoff will speak Friday in Oxford, Mississippi at a campaign event in support of this wife’s presidential bid. His appearance is said to be a part of the Harris-Walz “New Way Forward” campaign tour.

Emhoff’s visit to the Magnolia State is welcome news for State Rep. Cheikh Taylor, chairman of the Mississippi Democratic Party.

“I am so pleasantly surprised and pleased knowing that Kamala Harris and her husband cares enough about this election to come to Mississippi and to send her better half,” Taylor told Magnolia Tribune Thursday morning. “It’s important that we are recognized even though that we understand where we fit in the scheme of things.”

Harris was elevated to be the Democratic Party’s nominee after President Joe Biden step aside following a bungled June debate performance with Republican nominee and former President Donald Trump. Biden went on to endorse his Vice President as the party’s standard-bearer despite Harris not participating in a single primary election this cycle.
