doug emhoff gave a shout out to his big beautiful blended family. his daughter was in the audience, she was giving the heart. she was wearing a kamala hat. his ex-wife was in the family box with the rest of the family. let's play a little of the conversation that we heard. >> calls us a three-headed parenting machine. kamala and kirsten, thank you, both. thank you, both. for always putting your family and the kids first. >> his ex-wife, by the way, even produced the video before, you know, that played before his speech. so big picture, no pun intended, maybe a pun intended, what we saw last night in addition to what we heard, what's the importance? >> their families look like american families. they're just normal people who just happen to be on the biggest stage in the world. you can't get any more normal than doug emhoff. his speech was so human. it was so relatable. it is from everyone we have seen, we've taken these politicians off the pedestals and brought them down to -- they're bringing themselves down to the ground and saying, hey, you have

how is he responding. >> reporter: emhoff responded saying during his first marriage he went throughough times on account of his actions and took responsibility in the years since. a source also says this information was known to the vice president prior to their marriage. now, late today emhoff's ex-wife defended him in a statement saying their marriage end for a variety of reasons, adding that she's proud of the, quote, supportive blended family she, harris, and emhoff have built together. adriana? >> natalie brand, that you can. >>> now to new developments in this week's 9/11 plea deal reached with three accused plotters. in a surprise move defense secretary lloyd austin revoked settlement agreements. cbs' michael george in new york has details on what happened. michael, good evening. >> reporter: adriana, good evening. it's been nearly 23 years since the attack that brought down to the towers of the world trade center right here behind me. and in all that time the families of victims never had the closure of a trial, and now a plea deal involving the alleged mastermind has been r

pull emhoff will talk about the time when his parent's job and emhoff split when he >> but he wasn'tide in that as a difficult time. but then they'll say there was a blind date between doug emhoff and the vice president that change their families lives forever. people say in that

emhoff does, tooo.t is this vision that i think tim and kamala will fight for every day in the white house. right? one other little and i want to tell you about me is what my mom often used to say to me. she would say, do the work that is in front of you. i used to think that was the dishes. or cleaning my room. but what i have realized, it was more profound than that. it was about how i saw the world and what i thought about it, and what my vision for the world might allow me to see and do. so today, there is a lot of work in front of us. my mom would still say that. so i'm asking you to go ring some doorbells and knock on some doors. let's talk to our neighbors. and let's not stop until the work in front of us is completed and done. it is why we need kamala and tim in the white house. and together, we are going to win this thing. [applause] i really like pennsylvania. i think i might want to spend a lot of time here. [applause] now, it's my honor to introduce you to a leader who cares so deeply about

doug emhoff and the obamas again just minutes away live here on abc, let's get right to our powerhouse political team, linsey davis, martha raddatz, jonathan karl, all in the booth, rachel scott, terry moran down on the floor. quite a night already and you cannot overstate how important it is for kamala harris tonight, jon karl, to have two of the biggest stars in the democratic party. barack obama, michelle obama here in the hall tonight. >> right here in chicago where the obamas, you know, are from. this is a huge moment for absolutely a huge moment for kamala harris, and, david, it's more than just taking two of the biggest, maybe the biggest democratic stars, putting them on the stage, enthusiastically making the case for her candidacy, but what you're going to hear here and what you're going to see with barack obama particularly is something that we really have not seen since he was running for re-election in 2012. what i am told by people close to the former president is that he intends not just to give this big speech here tonight, but to be out on the campaign trail essentially

now, emhoff's two children are now adults and the family dynamic has been described as a friendly one with the ex-wife, kyrsten emhoff, also weighing in on saturday saying, quote, he is a great father to our kids, continues to be a great front of me and i'm really proud of the warm and supportive blended family dog camila, and i have built together that doug emhoff has been on the campaign trail and that is expected to pick up over the next few weeks and months all, right, priscilla alvarez. >> thank you democratic senator sherrod brown says, he does not plan to campaign with kamala harris during this election cycle, even going as far as skipping the democratic national convention. >> now, brown is facing a high-stakes reelection campaign in republican leaning state the battle for his senate seat is central to the fight for the next senate majority. >> and in order to win his seat, again, brown will have to get voters to split their tickets, which is a tough strategy in this modern polarized era cnn's manu raju joining us now with more good morning to you, manu. i mean, that's obvious

now, vice president kamala harris's husband, doug emhoff, acknowledged in a statement to cnn that he had an affair during his first marriage. >> this comes after a british tabloid publisher just alleged details of this relationship and cnn's priscilla alvarez has the story vice president kamala harris's husband, doug emhoff acknowledged to cnn that he hadn't affair during his first marriage after alleged details of that relationship were published in a british tabloid in a statement exclusively to cnn, emhoff said the following quote during my first first marriage, kyrsten and i went through some tough times on accounts of my actions. >> i took responsibility and in the year since we work through things as a family and have come out stronger on the other side. now that tabloid, the daily mail reported that emhoff had a relationship with his then young daughter daughter's teacher, which resulted in the end of his first marriage. now sources tell cnn the relationship and the circumstances were disclosed to joe biden's vetting committee four years ago when kamala harris was being consid

so doug emhoff will have his moment.t just doesn't feel that kamala's race and gender are going to be the impediment. people want her to be the next barack obama. she has to be careful not to be the next hillary clinton. the obamas are wildly popular, no question. this is the third consecutive convention, '08 -- excuse me, '16, '202 and '24 are where michelle obama is coming here to attack donald trump, to warn everybody about him. it worked a little bit in 2020. she's very popular. probably the most popular speaker if you look at the downloads. 2016 it was a mispyre because they never saw what was happening in the country. and i think that the obamas still can't quite shake off donald trump because he's the nominee again. so are you going to put him away by attacking him, or are you going to follow up on the campaign trail and help kamala win? i think this is a delicate balance for this reason, and you mentioned doug emhoff. him and barack obama, sure, you're there to support kamala harris, but if you're her husband, gr

and doug emhoff is a strong person.ng man who's self-assured, someone the president leans on for advice. he's somebody if you really want to understand what is going on or how to maybe get your point across better, ask the second gentleman because he is the best possible counsel. and to see him standing up there tonight as an example for so many people across the country because doug emhoff's family looks like a lot of families. i'm in a blended family. i have a son. i amam a stepmother but i have son, so i thought it was amazing for america to see that. michelle robin obama from the south side of chicago, honey, was on that stage tonight. and, yes, she preached, but i think she was fed up. up with trump. that's why in 2016 she went low. 2016 when they go low, we go high. today she -- she looked him dead in the face and gave america instructions. it was what people needed to hear. >> barack obama i just thought it was so striking to think about how he started in a convention s hall as we all kno and he gave a speech abo

we saw that with doug emhoff. to keck with people really contrasted with the clip you just showed. robert f. kennedy's exit from the race, his endorsement of trump, is also about aligning himself with a specific kind of masculinity. there was a very specific kind of masculinity on display at the dnc, just really showing, kind of, an empathetic focus on supporting the women in their lives, being able to discuss all kind of issues, not just women issues, family issues, american issues. that is a very different kind of masculinity than the masculinity is endorsing with his support for former president trump. the kennedy family had previously endorsed president biden and distanced himself from rfk's run. his own nephew was on stage at the dnc endorsing kamala harris saying, don't vote for my uncle. by the way, rfk approached both the harris and trump campaigns ability supporting them and also getting their support. >> think about him being hhs secretary under a trump administration. this is the other thing that was di

denied will be the second a gentleman, doug emhoff, we will also hear this crowd waiting around from former first lady michelle obama. >> that all leads to tonight's health -- headliner, barack obama will return to the national stage here where he will make the case for a hair's presidency. >> martha: we have our panel back with us tonight a perk back on the street with micah tobin out there over the course of the weeks of five purex tell us what is going on out of there, what are you saying? >> what you're looking at is the tale end of this demonstration. mass arrest ended up, the police radio at 80:50, that mass arrest event was over. you are looking at about ten demonstrators who still remain up and they are still chanting and shouting out a police. was he did throughout the evening is frankly created manufacture a bunch of conflicts with polly's. they had their demonstration earlier in front of the transportation centre in front of the is really consulate, stood out on the street there and ultimately took their signs and ran into the police line. started the first conflict of the

not at all, not for doug emhoff. thirdly, here's what i find so telling. bastion of light and illumination, ran a political fashion piece that compared to men and talk about their uniforms. and they called j.d. vance's beard and emblem of e-men frontiersman ship that reflected his more traditional approach to gender roles. now of course they cut him down and said more things about why that's terrible, and then they went on to talk about walz and to say how his regular guy cred, his penchant for plaid shirts and other costumes of regular guyhood, how attractive that was. was. and you see the same brands and types of clothes on people like don jr. and everyone. the whole point is everyone wears it and it doesn't matter. the media will always make it sound like it is toxic if it is on the back of someone that votes republican, and it is the next best thing if it is on the back of someone that votes with a d, that they can keep doug emhoff and the subject of vacation. >> kayleigh: does a stunning examples. the american people noticed at some point, melania tru

emhoff and barack obama and michelle obama. many ways michelle is the first lady the former first lady's speech was the more kind of combative. it was the more emotionally- fired up. his was kind of a meditation on what it means to be an american. in that way it was a shift of the traditional quote unquote if we are talking about warrior roles for men and women how you think that played? >> reporter: you know, i think that the in addition of introducing new constructs of masculinity is fine to embrace and it is not necessarily going to allienate part of the base as if you are not pushing them aside or feeling wrong for how they show up. if it is inclusive it needs to be inclusive to everyone. to that point one of the strongest and powerful moments for tim walz is when his former players came on stage. now you have essentially a group of jocks, high school football team super masculine, coming up, these guys not in suits, ties, beer bellies, jerseys, coming on stage and they were welcomed. and i think that was a very important s

oh my god, listen to doug emhoff. right?eaving his cell phone trying to get a callback wind date hey, i don't think i'm not forget that the middle america would wrap their arms around what they heard last night. >> and you add in the part from the sun to be first gentlemen, it was very beautifully ground applying to see in this convention love from a couple, yeah where let's just be real. you didn't see that all during the rnc in any regard? and then it was continued from the obamas it resonates when people want to be happy, they want to feel joy. it's what governor walz said. joy has been restored in this campaign and you saw that last night. and then you also saw a very clear choice and contrast at the end of the day, do you believe it will be better with this vision you have to walk out feeling better about that. >> can it can i ask is one of the questions we've had now for the four weeks and four days, three i think it'll try to do the math is if the joy that clearly vice president harris and then governor walz would he

doug emhoff. following our raucous and oftentimes logistically challenged day one of the convention of solutes and send offs and emotional standoffs by the honor, my lifetime serve as your president. you're all this talk about how i'm angry at all those people said i she stepped down it's not, true. i love my country more and we need to preserve our democracy america i gave my best to you an emotional hand off as sort of sorts. biden did not even start speaking until after 11:00 p.m. eastern. his speech going until well after midnight east coast time tonight, we're going to kick off our coverage at 7:00 p.m. eastern. a ceremonial roll call of the states will be held to nominate common hello, are harris and as a tribute to president biden will begin with his beloved home state of delaware, the small wonder state. vice president harris and her running mate, governor tim walz of minnesota, are holding a rally tonight in battleground, wisconsin, right next door after getting a rousing reception here i

we are going to hear from the obamas and second gentleman, doug emhoff. >> i want to ask hallie abouteeing some of the relationships and friendships. we will see that in the form of barack obama tonight. >> that is what he has with the obamas, a personal friendship that goes back years, that goes back decades here. if the relationship between former president obama and his then running mate president biden can perhaps be described as complicated, it is different here for kamala harris and her relationship with the obamas. this goes back to the early days of his in the white house. she was an early endorser of his. she knocked on doors for him on new year's eve in 2007 in frigid iowa. that is something that has not been forgotten. more recently, former president obama acted as an adviser and moved forward here in her push to win the white house. what's been interesting is we have been at this convention and as i'm talking with democrats and other democrats, there is comparisons to 2008 and the energy and the vibe and the momentum that was around barack obama. i'm asking folks, do you f

we're going to have more from doug emhoff tonight on the 10:00 news. but they're in chicago. well, anticipation is really building for the obamas. they are set to take the stage later on this evening. now, earlier tonight, delegates at the dnc cast their votes in a ceremonial roll call to celebrate the nomination of vice president harris and minnesota governor tim walz. governor gavin newsom delivering the delegates from the state of california to put harris over the top. >> so democrats and independents, it's time for us to do the right thing, and that is to elect kamala harris as the next president of the united states of america. california >> we proudly cast our 482 votes for the next president. kamala harris. >> there you have it. also in chicago tonight, san francisco mayor london breed. and she talked about the energy of the convention and the enthusiasm for harris. >> i got to say, i don't even know how to describe it. it is. people are everywhere. they're excited. i see kamala's images everywhere. people wearing their harris t shirts. it is really a lot of energy and

which doug emhoff obviously has been, and that number has about doubled since 1,980. my parents, 19801980, i have a tendency to do that. i don't know why i do that. that's like looking back in the olden days, both my parents were married more than once. so the bottom line is, they might say, hey, this is a little bit strange, a little bit different, but you know what america is, a little bit strange, a little bit different from what it used to be. and the emhoff family and kamala harris has part of a growing diverse bauer constructor in terms of the american family dynamic. >> and president obama also touched on something that many spouses can relate to. let's listen to this she will have an outstanding partner and governor tim walz. >> he knows what's important you can tell those those flannel shirt she where's don't come from some political consultant. they come from his closet and they have been through some stuff gosh, we all have this shirt of her husband's that we hate my girlfriend has many of those shirts. i fill up my little league tee-shirt. you know that i

this is something that happened with doug emhoff in his first marriage years before kamala harris was in the picture for him? >> all right. isaac dovere with his latest reporting as we close in on these final hours before vice president harris picks her running mate. thank you so much for that, isaac. we appreciate it while harris focuses on choosing a running mate, her republican challenger, former president donald trump, is campaigning in atlanta, where moments ago he attacked georgia's republican governor brian kemp kept notably, not supporting trump under these kinds of woke radical left policies, atlanta is like a killing field and you've governor or to get off his and do something about it all right let's go straight to cnn's alayna treene, who is there at the rally. the president is still speaking behind you. alayna. >> we listened to some of his message last hour. >> what more can you tell us about what he's saying tonight but i'm not well, this is a classic donald trump but speech you, jessica, very reminiscent of 2016, and his old playbook, he's attacking his political enemi

no one doing it with more passion than her husband of almost a decade, second gentleman doug emhoff. >> and now that the country needs her, she's showing you what we already know. she's ready to lead. >> former l.a. mayor and 2026 california gubernatorial candidate antonio villaraigosa. taking it all in. >> i've never seen the kind of energy we got here in such a short period of time. chicago it's good to be home. >> the headline speakers for tuesday night were former president and former first lady barack and michelle obama speaking to their party from their hometown. consider this to be your official. >> ask michelle obama is asking. >> you know, i'm telling y'all to do something. >> the former president acting as the elder statesman, making a strong argument for electing his longtime friend and political ally. evoking vintage obama. >> yes, she can >> we will elect kamala harris as the next president of the united states. >> night two of the dnc officially in the books. night three will feature some more major speakers. we'll be hearing from former president bill clinton and speak

[cheering] she gets doug emhoff. i get dat jagg-off. chicago slang! i love it here!'s wonderful. the food here is so rich. i could marry it. the only thing i don't like is that big silver monument built for my husband. [cheering] >> stephen: you mean the trump hotel on the river? >> no. i'm talking about the bean. whoever did that sculpture has definitely seen his ass in shorts. [gagging] >> stephen: now when are you heading back to florida? >> oh, never, stephen! why go to mar-a-lago when i can stay in chicago-lago! >> stephen: madam first lady, it's a wonderful town, i agree. but you can't expect to just stay here in chicago. at some point you'll have to leave and re-join your husband. >> hey der. who is dis first lady you're talking about? i am not melania. i am mel... ditka. chicago guy! i cheer for da hot dogs and i eat da sox! [laughing] >> stephen: i want you to know. i want you to know you're not fooling anyone. >> i can't hear you, steve. too much cheering from the greatest city in the world! >> stephen: former first lady melania trump, everyone. we'll be ri

one of vice president's harris' closest confidants will take the stage, her husband, doug emhoff, the and entertainment lawyer whose 10-year marriage to harris already made him a historic figure. >> as america's second gentleman. if harris wins, he will be the first first gentleman in u.s. history. joining us, the author of the book "u.s. first ladies making history and leaving legacies." thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> tonight's speech, how might doug emhoff introduce vice president harris to voters in a way that nobody else can? >> that's a great question, and it's one where he has a unique opportunity to really tell the american public to tell the voters what he sees up close and personal about a person who has a leadership role in our country, who has wrestled with the decisions that have to be made as vice president and potentially as president. it really is a window into a personal relationship and watching somebody up close and personal in a way nobody else can do. there's a connection that i thought about today about how laura bush in 2004, at the republican conv

fun and great and moving from doug emhoff >> yeah, i felt, i feel like i know doug emhoff, he is kind in los angeles. i see him at the coffee joint once in awhile with his little secret service detail following him. i learned more about him in a speech. i can not say that about anyone else that i know that give speeches i learned more about him than anything i picked up over the years after listening to them privately. a unique spot. the first person in history to be in the spot, the first man, the second gentleman on his way to be first gentleman, no doubt and what he has made of that role is a model. by the way it is a model for spouses of people in power. he was a high-powered member of a law firm, global law firm, working in the entertainment side, no intersection with government. he quit that job and every penny of that income to take a teaching job because he did not want the slightest possible interpretation of conflict of interest because he was with a law firm that might in some other office of the law firm cross into a government situation that could be deemed a conflict of

no one doing it with more passion than her husband of almost a decade, second gentleman doug emhoff.now that the country needs her, she's showing you what we already know. she's ready to lead. >> former l.a. mayor and 2026 california gubernatorial candidate antonio villaraigosa. taking it all in. >> i've never seen the kind of energy we got here in such a short period of time. chicago it's good to be home. >> the headline speakers for tuesday night were former president and former first lady barack and michelle obama speaking to their party from their hometown. consider this to be your official. >> ask michelle obama is asking. >> you know, i'm telling y'all to do something. >> the former president acting as the elder statesman, making a strong argument for electing his longtime friend and political ally. evoking vintage obama. >> yes, she can >> we will elect kamala harris as the next president of the united states. >> night two of the dnc officially in the books. night three will feature some more major speakers. we'll be hearing from former president bill clinton and speaker nancy

and so you're seeing all these different aspects are seeing doug emhoff talk about her personal side, her family side. you're seeing michelle and barak obama talk about, okay. it's time to unite behind her. she is sort of r next leader and so i'm curious to see in the next two days how different factions and different people continue to pull out different facets and define her in that way. >> all right. still ahead here on cnn this morning, the dnc roll call was turned up lil john helping the delegates from georgia cast the votes in true atlanta fashion, plus an emotional moment from the texas delegation, a woman you might remember telling her story about how the state's abortion ban upended upended her life. we will speak with kate cox later on in the show comedy is coming to cnn what could go wrong i got news for you from the saturday, september 14 at nine on cnn. okay. yeah, we got orders coming in and business is never easy. a star now, eight months pregnant, that's the difference. the story. >> i couldn't slow down. we were starting a business from the ground-up. people were show

and emhoff himself had disclosed this to harris before or when they were dating before. they got married. so what we do know is that since then i'm have the two children. i have become adults and the family dynamic has turned into a quite friendly one with his ex-wife, also recently defending the vice president and doug emhoff has been on the trail. he had been before she was leading the ticket and that pace of funny raising and campaigning has certainly been more intense since she took the lead of the democratic party's ticket all right. >> priscilla alvarez for us in washington dc. thanks so much for that. >> and for a deeper dive on the highly anticipated veepstakes we turn now to cnn senior data reporter harry enten harry, here we are. >> she's going to make a decision in the next few days who looks to be the favorite right now? >> yeah. who looks to be the favorite at this particular point? going through some of those contenders who right now is the favorite. this is the chance of being harris as vice presidential running mate. this is based on betting market odds,

balloons to drift down, the stage is still full with the family and extended family was all doug emhoff's his first wife, we saw the grand nieces of the vice president, who is now, of course, the nominee, and extended family members of a blended family that represents different cultures, different backgrounds altogether standing for the walz-harris families who now head on the road. back to you up in the booth. >> all right. let's bring back hallie jackson and kristin welker to talk about all this. i saw you all scribbling feverishly when we got into immigration, certainly when we got into israel and gaza. >> absolutely. look, she took these issues on head-on. what was notable, lester and savannah, when she talked about her vision for the future, it sounds like she plans to build on the biden adventure. what this speech did was fill in the blanks about her biography. again, that theme of a strong mother and a figure head that she had at the head of her table that inspired her to become the person she is, what inspired her to become a prosecutor. all of those details getting filled in. the

the second thing is -- i know we'll talk about doug emhoff.son said we don't look like every other family that's been in the white house, but we can represent all american families. that's right. that's what american families look like now. they feel like today -- that feels -- the picture of the democratic convention is a picture that looks like what america looks like in 2024 and what it's going to look like going forward. a lot of what you see on the republican side is yesterday's news. that's a powerful thing for the democratic campaign that's trying to align itself with the future. you got to start with a party and a campaign and candidate and a family that looks like today. that's what the harris family looks like. that's what the democratic convention looks like. that's the opposite of what you see in this old, dilapidated, tired, sagging republican campaign on donald trump's side. it's boring. it looks like yesterday. >>> coming up, the senate's top democratic, majority leader chuck schumer will be our guest. we'll talk about his addre

kamala harris and doug emhoff, _ competitive. kamala harris and doug emhoff, her— competitive.y were i doug emhoff, herfamily were walking around the stage, greeting delegates from across the country. stevie wonder being played on the speakers. stevie wonder of course performing here at the convention. she is thanking many of those supporters. we are getting covered in ticker tape, but that's ok. if you look at this moment, stephanie, we have to keep saying this, it is an historic moment. the first time that we see a woman of colour at the top of a ticket running for president. yeah, what strikes me, though, is she didn't talk about it in those terms. her speech wasn't necessarily about her. her campaign is going to be about the american people, so she didn't really highlight that this is an historic moment. but you don't have to have her say it, you can look at her and say this is a historic moment. i thought it was really interesting that she focused very much, that she is for the people, reiterating that she would use power to help the american people. that is also a contras

not so much with doug emhoff and kamala harris, in their incidents.e politics and the norms. this is not like something we saw during the clinton years or other periods of american political history. it is a different set of circumstances and this may slow some of the momentum for kamala harris but they have had a good rollout and it is been two weeks since president biden announced he would not run for re-election. headed to the convention in chicago and a number of instances where the vp states will preempt that type of bad news and kamala harris and her team know that. they just don't want to have any kind of upset of that momentum. if donald trump will respond, what would that look like? he will try to get in front of that new cycle. he has been out of the news cycle and has been unable to get in and out of an inflection point. >> all eyes are on the potential vice presidential. for kamala harris but after that, eyes will be on the potential debate between trump and harris. do you think that will even happen before we get to the election ? >> dona

also the second gentleman doug emhoff introducing himself to the public. >> then we have bill clinton speaking wednesday. what is the strategy? >> it is interesting because we had hillary clinton on tonight, a great juxtaposition between the first woman at the top of the major ticket. they talked about breaking the glass ceiling and harris is being careful not to be used as the first woman, first woman of color, careful about how she positions herself, but hillary put that front-end center which is good for the young people. clinton is good about talking about economic policy. i remember seeing him in 2012. it went off the teleprompter for an hour. i think they will use him for that because he is good at bringing things down, making sure people feel heard. that is something they will have to focus on with the economy being a focus. greta: what stories are you pursuing this week? >> today i was interested in how it was open. the president was up here after the party pushed him out of the ticket. i was interested in how people were feeling. one said it was a bittersweet night for the pr

>> emhoff was charming, affecting.was his superb stuff, his cadence, his speech, however, was way too long. maybe 40-50% too long. i agree with you guys, i think the speech of the night was michelle obama. she is an extraordinarily impressive woman. former first lady of the united states. you can see why members of the democratic party always kind of hope that maybe she'd step in and run for president after him, in any of these past several cycles. it does, however, i have to say this, get a little rich when she starts talking about hope. remember, she famously said back when her husband was on the cusp of winning -- it was the first time in her life that she had felt if hope because of what he brought and what he was bringing. and here she is again tonight saying that's again -- i can't imagine why somebody who has had the life she's had, a product of princeton and harvard law school, first lady of the united states with a mag a enough sent house on martha's vineyard worth about $12 million and another one going up in
