Kamala Harris could become the first president of the United States at the end of the 2024 presidential campaign, with the vote on Tuesday, November 5. Her family would thus be in the spotlight, including the children of her husband Douglas Emhoff. Who are they?
While Joe Biden had presented himself as a candidate for his own succession earlier this year, with the prospect of leading a second term as president of the United States, he was forced this summer to change his mind and withdraw in favor of of his running mate Kamala Harriswho had already been designated as vice-president between 2020 and 2024, under her first mandate which will end very soon. Indeed, the campaign forelection to the White House ends on Tuesday, November 5 with the vote of the voters, who will designate what we call the electors across the Atlantic, so that they can choose who will be the 47th President of the United States.

Obviously, since she was nominated as the official candidate of the Democratic Party, Kamala Harris has focused all the attention on herself and her background, her origins and even her family, which she describes as “modern” in more than one way. “I have two wonderful children, who call me 'Mamala' (a contraction of the word Mom – mother in French – and her first name)”she said in the podcast Call Her Daddy very popular in America last month. “We are a very modern family, I'm friends with my husband's ex-wife… They are my children and I love them to death“she added, evoking between the lines Douglas Emhoff who has ardently supported her for more than ten years now and who has also put his professional career on hold in favor of her own political career.

Kamala Harris never had children
These two children named Ella et Cole are not his. These were born from a previous union of Douglas Emhoff with his first wife, a producer who works in the world of the Seventh Art – Kerstin Mackin -, from whom he officially separated in 2008. Kamala Harris feels a lot of affection for these two children, respectively aged 29 for the first boy, and 25 for the young woman. He has taken up residence in Los Angeles and is following in his mother's footsteps in the field of cinema and production. As for Ella, it is fashion that fascinates her above all. She lives in New York and is a modeling sensation. A creator, she even publishes her own pieces on Instagram.

Douglas Emhoff is very proud of this blended family and does not hesitate to publish photos of them reunited on social networks. His wife is too. We remember that Kamala Harris, who can count on the support of many stars, was full of praise for these two children during an interview with the magazine Elle US, and 2019. “Cole and Ella are bright, funny and talented children who have grown up to become remarkable adults.”she admitted, in complete transparency.
Donald Trump has five children from three different mothers
If Kamala Harris had agreed to talk about her husband's children again last month for the podcast Call Her Daddyit is also because she had to endure strong criticism from the governor of Arkansas, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, repressing her lack of biological motherhood. “My children help me stay humble. Unfortunately, Kamala Harris has nothing to keep her humble”the latter had previously said on American television. The current vice-president therefore wanted to respond by specifying: “I think she doesn't understand that there are, first of all, a whole bunch of women who don't aspire to remain humble. But also that there are a whole bunch of women who have a lot of love in their lives, of family, of children… There is family of blood and there is family of heart and I have both.. Kamala Harris thus testified to the strong ties that unite her to Cole and Ella.

His rival Donald Trump is also the head of a blended family since he had a total of five children from three different women. The first three are the fruit of his love with Ivana Zelníčková, before the birth of Tiffany Trump in 1993, and whose mother is none other than television host Marla Maples. His last son Baron was born in 2006, a year after his marriage to Melania Knauss, still his wife, who has just published an autobiography in which she explains how she met the famous real estate mogul.
