The term "Second Gentleman" refers to the husband of the Vice President of the United States. This title was first used when Kamala Harris took office in January 2021, making Doug Emhoff the first person to hold this position. The Second Gentleman often participates in official events and supports the Vice President's initiatives. The role of the Second Gentleman is largely ceremonial, but it can also involve advocacy on various issues. Like the Vice President, the Second Gentleman may engage in public speaking and community outreach, helping to promote the administration's goals and connect with citizens across the country.
