Kamala Harris was all smiles and affection for her “beloved” second gentleman Doug Emhoff in the immediate aftermath of her crushing presidential election defeat.
But now that President Donald Trump has been sworn into office, for sore loser Harris, it is now all about the blame game, and her target has flipped to her “dead weight” husband.
And as she weighs her political future – maybe a 2026 run for Governor of California or another try for the nation’s top job two years later – she has to consider whether Emhoff is an asset or a liability.
One source exclusively told DailyMail.com: “There’s plenty of blame to go around as far as Kamala is concerned and Doug has his share.
“Doug did Kamala no favors during the election – frankly, he looked like a hypocritical a** after the bombshells that he had got his child’s nanny pregnant while married to his first wife and assaulted his ex-girlfriend on the heels of his ‘I am woman’ crusade.”
Despite their brave united front at the inauguration and at President Jimmy Carter’s January 9 funeral, those close to the couple believe all is not “hunky dory” between them.
And word is the husband of California girl Kamala has already signed up for a job with a Big Apple law firm which would require them to split their time between New York and Los Angeles.
At Monday’s presidential inauguration, the couple presented a united front, though their expressions remained grim as they sat through Trump’s speech, their faces mirroring the tension.
