PLAN AS MICHIGAN SEES POSSIBLY THE BEGINNING OF A SECOND WAVE
OF INFECTIONS.
OF INFECTIONS. >> I KNOW YOUR STATE VERY WELL.
>> Rhonda: BATTLEGROUND
MICHIGAN, BRINGING OUT THE
CANDIDATES AND THEIR FAMILIES.
>> WE WANT AND WILL WIN
MICHIGAN.
MICHIGAN. WE’RE TAKING THIS STATE VERY
SERIOUSLY.
SERIOUSLY. >> Rhonda: [INDISCERNIBLE].
>> I CAME TO THIS COMMUNITY AND
MET THE STATE CENTER AND THE
LOCAL LEADERS AND WENT TO THE
TEMPLE FOR SHABBAT AND IT
GIVE POLICE A CALL.
♪
♪ >> Rhonda: LITIGATION ATTORNEY
DOUG EMHOFF AND HUSBAND TO
KAMALA HARRIS, HE HAS BEEN
CONNECTING HERE IN MICHIGAN WITH
VOTERS FOR OVER A YEAR, EVER
SIPS HIS WIFE LAUNCHED HER
CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT.
HE IS BACK THIS WEEK STOMPING
FOR THE BIDEN HARRIS CAMPAIGN
AND I TALKED TO HIM IN
HUNTINGTON WOODS ABOUT RACE,
RACE RELATIONS, THE VP DEBATE
AND WHAT HE’LL NEVER FORGET.
>> I WENT TO FLINT AND THAT WAS
ONE OF THE MOST IMPACTFUL THICK
THICK -- THINGS FOR HER CAMPAIGN
AND IT NEVER LEFT ME.
THE PAIN AND THE ISSUES.
I WENT BACK TO XHAEL,KAMALA.
>> Rhonda: MANY SHARE HIS JEWISH
FAITH.
FAITH. >> YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE THE
YEAR OF THE PRESIDENT TO CALL
ANTI-SEMITISM, ANTI-SEMITISM.
ANTI-SEMITISM, ANTI-SEMITISM. >> JEWISH COMMUNITY VALUES
FAIRNESS AND JUSTICE.
AND BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER,
NOT RIPPING THEM APART.
THIS WHOLE CAMPAIGN IS BASED ON
THOSE VALUES OF FAIRNESS AND
COMMUNITY AND BRINGING THIS
COUNTRY TOGETHER AND ALSO
JUSTICE.
JUSTICE. ADD HERE’S TO THE RULE OF LAW.
THAT’S WHY I CHOSE MY PROFESSION
FRANKLY AND WHY I’M AN ADVOCATE
FOR JUSTICE AND EQUALITY.
>> Rhonda: ALONG WITH A UNIQUE
LENS TO SPEAK OUT ABOUT RACIAL
INJUSTICE AS THE HUSBAND OF A
BLACK WOMAN.
BLACK WOMAN. >> IT OPENED MY EYES.
AND I TRY TO TELL EVERYONE THAT
I KNOW, WHITE OR OTHERWISE, TO
JUST OPEN THEIR EYES AND GET OUT
FROM THEIR OWN EXPERIENCE AND
JUST BE OPEN AND WILLING TO LOOK
AT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE GOING
THROUGH TO UNDERSTAND IT AND
HOPEFULLY TO BE AN ALLY TO THEM.
>> Rhonda: AND THERE WAS
SOMETHING THAT STOOD OUT TO ME,
IT WAS AT THE VERY END WHEN YOU
[INDISCERNIBLE] AND GIVE YOUR
WIFE A HUG.
>> YOU GO THROUGH IT AND THAT’S
MY WIFE.
MY WIFE. AND YOU’RE STRESSED OUT, HOLDING
THE CHAIR TIGHTLY.
AND SO WHEN SHE WAS DONE, SHE
DID SUCH A GREAT JOB AND I WAS
SO PROUD OF HER, SO I THINK WHAT
YOU SAW WAS A COMBINATION OF
RELIEF BUT MORE SO PRIDE.
AND I BOUNDED UP ON THAT STAGE
AND GAVE HER THE BIGGEST HUG I
COULD.
COULD. I WAS SO PROUD OF HER.
>> Rhonda: SOMETHING PROBABLY
ANY SPOUSE CAN RELATE TO.
THEY’VE BEEN MARRIED FOR 6 YEARS
AND BOTH WILL MAKE HISTORY IF
JOE BIDEN IS ELECTED PRESIDENT.
HE WOULD BE THE FIRST JEW AND
FIRST SECOND GENTLEMAN TO EVER
HOLD THAT POSITION AS THE SPOUSE
OF A VICE PRESIDENT.
AND KAMALA HARRIS WOULD BE THE
FIRST WOMAN AS VICE PRESIDENT.
HE TOLD ME HE IS ON LEAVE FROM
HIS LAW FIRM WHERE HE’S A TRIAL
ATTORNEY IN WASHINGTON, D.C.,
AND CALIFORNIA SO HE CAN WORK
24/7 AND TRAVEL ACROSS THE
COUNTRY AND HELPING IN ANY WAY
HE CAN.
HE CAN. AFTER THE ELECTION, HE’LL START
THINKING ABOUT THAT, IF THEY WIN
THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
