WASHINGTON
A few weeks after his wife, Kamala Harris, was elected vice president, lawyer Doug Emhoff decided to embark on his own career change: He became a law school professor.
“It’s odd,” Emhoff told reporters recently, explaining the reaction of his students at Georgetown University. “The ‘second gentleman’ is their teacher.”
“But we kind of dispensed with that,” he added. “It was maybe five minutes in the first class.”
Emhoff, 56, has a lot of experience dealing with odd situations. Just seven years ago, he led a private life as a Los Angeles entertainment lawyer and divorced father of two powerful and well-liked in his world but hardly known outside it. Then he became a history-making undercard: the first-ever second gentleman, to the first woman of color in national office.
