“I am spending all my time for these next 40 days working on the election but yeah, but it’s quite an honor and a responsibility when it happens,” said Emhoff.
An attorney, he plans to focus on access to justice.
“I am a longtime lawyer and I was always struck as a young lawyer by folks literally sitting in the hallways of courtrooms, and you know, with their hands out tugging on my jacket for help, and it never left me, so I have always had a passion for pro bono legal services and encouraging others,” said Emhoff.
Emhoff has done both virtual events and in-person events promoting the Biden-Harris ticket.
And he plans to continue campaigning with just 40 days, until the election.
