It's been barely a week since Doug Emhoff's wife, Kamala Harris, stepped down as vice president after losing the 2024 election to Donald Trump, but the former second gentleman has already found a new gig defending members of the so-called oligarchy former president Joe Biden warned about in his farewell address.
Emhoff, who is best known for making out with Dr. Jill Biden next to a Holocaust survivor at the 2023 State of the Union, will join Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP as a partner, the global white-shoe law firm announced Monday. He will advise corporate clients and private equity firms on "sensitive investigations" and "complex litigation," as well as "matters with significant reputational concerns," and will split his time between Los Angeles and New York, where the firm is headquartered.

Willkie Farr & Gallagher, which earned $1.5 billion in revenue in 2023, is best known for the actions of its disgraced former co-chairman, Gordon Caplan, who was among the liberal elites implicated in the "Varsity Blues" college admissions scandal. Caplan pleaded guilty in 2019 to paying $75,000 to fraudulently boost his daughter's ACT score. He served a month in prison and was barred from practicing law for two years.
Big Doug needed to act fast to secure the bag. Kamala is probably going to run for governor of California in 2026 and has a decent shot of winning given the state's unusual preference for incompetent Democrats. That means Emhoff has just two years to rake in as much private equity cash as he possibly can before he is pressured to step down due to "conflict of interest" rules. Emhoff abandoned his role as a partner at another white-shoe firm, DLA Piper, after Kamala was inaugurated as vice president in 2021.
Emhoff's return to law practice is rife with controversy. Despite being widely praised by journalists for being a "modern-day sex symbol" and "taking a sledgehammer to toxic masculinity," Emhoff was despised by normal Americans for destroying his first marriage by banging the nanny and for allegedly slapping an ex-girlfriend at the Cannes Film Festival in 2012. The hotshot lawyer's tenure at the Los Angeles office of Venable LLP, where he served as managing director from 2006 to 2017, was plagued by allegations of sexual misconduct and discrimination.
