Doug Emhoff Visits Chicago to Raise Funds for Harris-Walz Ticket
Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, made a whirlwind stop in Chicago on Wednesday to raise money for the Harris-Walz ticket ahead of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). Emhoff attended three private fundraisers in the city, showing his support for the Democratic ticket.
First, Emhoff spoke with donors at a private residence in the West Loop, where U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) was reportedly in attendance. From there, he made his way to a high-rise building on Lake Shore Drive in North DuSable for another fundraiser. His final stop in Glencoe is expected to draw hundreds of supporters eager to hear his message near the synagogue.
