The Kamala Harris campaign is proclaiming its “New Way Forward” this week with a campaign tour. And a major surrogate for the campaign is heading to America’s Friendliest Hometown.
Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff will be in The Villages on Friday at 6:55 p.m. “as part of the Harris-(Tim) Walz campaign’s New Way Forward battleground tour to mobilize support, drive enthusiasm, and reach the voters who will decide this election as we approach the closing weeks of the campaign.”
“With fewer than 60 days until Election Day, the Second Gentleman will underscore the contrast between Vice President Harris and Governor Walz’s vision for a brighter, more hopeful future versus Donald Trump and JD Vance’s Project 2025 that will give Trump unprecedented, unchecked power to enact his extreme and dangerous agenda,” the advisory says.
The Friday Florida deployment suggests the Harris campaign may believe the Sunshine State, which Trump won the last two Presidential Election cycles, is up for grabs. Democrats, who have not been prominent in the senior citizens’ community in previous cycles, have been campaigning for Harris. And to that end, Emhoff’s trip seems designed to stoke enthusiasm.
The most recent polling of the race, via Morning Consult, suggests the race is close despite a 1 million-voter advantage for Republicans.
Trump leads by just 2 points in that survey, released Monday.
Emhoff has been campaigning throughout the battlegrounds, and his remarks shouldn’t deviate too far from the established template. He may discuss reproductive freedom, for example, and if he does his remarks may be reminiscent of what he said recently in North Carolina given that Florida has abortion on the ballot this year.
“A minority of extremists are making decisions for the majority of us that they know none of us want, and it’s causing actual damage,” Emhoff said in Raleigh. “I want everyone to stay mad about these issues and channel that anger at the ballot box.”
He may also talk economic opportunity, as he did in Pennsylvania.
“This is all about creating an opportunity economy where all of us, every one of us, can succeed,” Emhoff said Saturday in Allentown.

Take a two person crew armed with a microphone and camera. Go up to random people all over the state of Florida or the USA for that matter. Ask them “who is Doug Emhoff?” Roughly 99.9% have no idea who he is. This proves that the Dems have thrown in the towel on Red Florida. 🤣

Can’t wait to see all those Melania appearances, for her sugar daddy. It is so refreshing to see a ticket of family members that don’t resemble the Children of the Corn.

Melania will be out there — shilling her recently published book.

Who cares? He’s just one more person out there doing his thing. He’s Jewish as are many people at the Villages so if he’s standing next to a Rabbi giving his spiel, I’m sure someone will be listening. Is it a game changer? Probably not but winning is a game of inches as they say. Discipline is everything. Meanwhile, Usha Vance is staying home getting her Melania on.

Mr Emhoff quit his successful practice to serve as Second Gentleman. His blended family is a model of love, support, and American values of unity and strength. He will soon make history as Americas first First Gentleman.

Absolutely hilarious Michael K. Can we bring up the fact that your loving, family oriented guy knocked up the nanny from his first marriage? Thanks for
The laugh and your attempt to spin. Just like you and the media have been doing with Kammy.

Asking for a friend: How many of the 22 women who have fingered Trump for sexual assault are telling the truth?

You always know the malicious gossip, but you don’t know how many women were assaulted by serial rapist Trump?
Probably more than 22 since the profile of serial rapists is that they don’t quit until caught, or get to old to do it.

At least five. And that’s five too many.

CBS reported in August 2024: Doug Emhoff acknowledged having an extramarital affair during his first marriage.
Emhoff’s admission comes after the Daily Mail reported the teacher became pregnant in 2009, but did not have the baby.
Two sources — both of whom were close to the woman at the time of her relationship with Emhoff — told CBS News that the woman’s pregnancy ended in a miscarriage.
Those two sources, along with a third source familiar with the relationship said that while Emhoff was legally married at the time to his first wife, Kerstin Emhoff, the two were separated when the affair happened.
All three said that the woman did not work as a nanny for the Emhoff children. She taught at their school, though she was not teaching either child at the time of the relationship with Emhoff.

MH. I know Trump is a dirty dog. I really laughed when Michael K tried to portray Emhoff as some sort of upstanding, honest, loyal guy. He’s a dirty dog too. You zombies though will never admit it though. Oh and you were on the google machine because you had no idea about Dirty Doug.🤣

Consensual sex between adults is one thing; sexual assault if something else.
I know you read the essays in Hugh Hefner’s publication.

Yes, and it looks like DJT is going to pay and pay some more through that autocratic nose of his.
Ditto sidekick Guiliani who also migrated to Florida to protect his assets aka the Bowie Kuhn loophole.

Not that I live anywhere near there, but I was kinda hoping Tim Walz would do The Villages.
But Doug will do great there too. It’s nice to see a spouse supporting their spouse.

CNN and other media outlets are depicting Florida on their electoral map as a pink state …. no longer a red State. There are four million independent voters in Florida! Independent voters decide elections in most states.

Good Morn ‘Ting Sage Patriots,
This is a set-up to get Sage Patriot Grannys and Grandpas to look stupid and creat “October Suprise Sound-Bites”
The residents of The Villages should boycot this farce which your HOA’s got personal pay-offs for setting up.
BEWARE SAGE PATRIOTS ….. ITS A TRAP:

We’re not voting for him or Mrs. Walz or Melanoma or Mrs. Vance. These folks ought to stay in the background. Bad enough to have Trump’s failure to launch kids running around acting like experts or his daughter in law becoming chair of the RNC.
