Before getting off Thursday night’s call, Emhoff said he had not seen Harris in several days since her campaign’s launch. She’s talking about a world where there’s freedom, a world where we value everyone, a world where we stick up for people, a world where we fight against bullies — and we’re fighting against the ultimate bully right now.” Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, in an early glimpse at how Emhoff might help respond to Donald Trump’s attacks, Emhoff said: “That’s all he’s got?” “You heard the vice president yesterday making the case against Donald Trump very clearly,” he said. Emhoff later said that the vice president told him ‘I need you’ after learning that Joe Biden dropped out of the race. Emhoff briefly mentioned Trump on Thursday’s call, but said he didn’t “want to get into all that, because I heard the last speaker talking about the hellscape that our country will be if somehow that guy who was a terrible president the first time somehow gets back.” “We can’t imagine a future like that,” Emhoff said.
