What’s next for Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff?

On By Littum

Vice President Kamala Harris and second in command Doug Emhoff will reportedly move out of Washington, DC when President-elect Donald Trump is sworn in on Monday.

After attending the inauguration ceremony in the US capital, the couple is expected to fly to California. Going forward, the couple will be based out of their home in Brentwood, Los Angeles, according to CBS News. The home was in an evacuation zone earlier this month due to deadly wildfires engulfing Southern California.

The two are also considering buying a new apartment in Manhattan, CBS added.

While Harris has yet to announce his future plans, sources told NBC News earlier this month that one of the next items on Harris’ to-do list would be writing a book. In addition to sharing his experience in politics, the outgoing vice president could also write books about food and cooking, CBS reported.

Harris is reportedly still considering a potential 2026 gubernatorial run in her home state of California, as the current incumbent, Democrat Gavin Newsom, is term-limited. Nor has she closed the door on another presidential campaign.

Asked what’s next for her, Harris told reporters Thursday: “I’ll keep you posted.”

Meanwhile, Emhoff is expected to return to practicing law for an as-yet-undisclosed firm and will work across the firm’s New York and Los Angeles offices, CBS said.

Harris rose to the top of the Democratic ticket over the summer following President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw from the presidential race following a poor debate performance that raised concerns about his age and his fitness to serve another term.

The vice president lost to Trump in November after failing to win any of the battleground states that were key to capturing the White House.

In her concession speech at her alma mater Howard University in November, Harris hinted that she was not done with public service.

“While I concede this election, I do not concede the struggle that fueled this campaign,” she said at the time.
