MAUREEN CALLAHAN: Michelle and Barack Obama, Kamala and Doug… and the ugly truth about so many political marriages that the left will never dare utter

The presidential election may not be the only big loss for Kamala Harris.

If the reports are true, Kamala is debating whether to drop a “dead weight” named Doug Emhoff.

Yes, America's self-proclaimed “woman's man” will soon be, as Kamala herself would say, “unencumbered by what has been” – namely a ten-year marriage.

Rumor has it that our former former Veep has added her troublesome husband to the list of reasons why she lost to President Trump.

“There's plenty of blame to go around when it comes to Kamala,” an insider told the Mail, “and Doug has his share.”

Of course you can't blame Kamala herself. No.

Not because of the word salads, nor because of her inability to convincingly express a single thought, nor because of her apparent lack of original ideas or intellectual weight.

Alas, “joy,” it seems, is a vanishing prospect, gone with the hiccups of that sloppy post-election Thanksgiving video.

MAUREEN CALLAHAN: Michelle and Barack Obama, Kamala and Doug… and the ugly truth about so many political marriages that the left will never dare utter

If the reports are true, Kamala is debating whether to drop a “dead weight” named Doug Emhoff.

Kamala's profile rose when she started dating powerful married politician Willie Brown in the 1990s, when she was 29 and he was 60, so the prospect of a breakup with Doug should come as no surprise, the source says.

“It's not like she hasn't had men before in her political career,” the insider said. “But what does Doug do for her now?”

That's cold. Colder than DC on Inauguration Day.

But if Kamala were to dump Doug — and there have been whispers since news broke that Emhoff has reportedly accepted a job at a Manhattan law firm and moved into a $20,000-a-month rental property on Park Avenue — it could hurt her political party sooner do then help. future.

A future that she does not have, by the way. But don't tell Kamala that yet!

Watching her Sunset Boulevard-level delusions is something we earned – the hard way.

So while Doug is touring luxury properties on the East Coast, Kamala has ignominiously returned to her still-burning state of California to—one imagines—plot her next moves: land a book deal, claim the mother of all grudges against Doug, and run for office for the presidency. in 2028.

You read that correctly. The biggest political face-planter since Sarah Palin reportedly thinks he still has a chance.

As Kamala's former communications chief Ashley Etienne told the Mail, her old boss told her last week: “You know me well enough to know I'm not going away quietly.”

Doug, however, may be a different matter. He can leave very quietly.

The thing is, after Doug publicly admitted last summer that he cheated in his first marriage with the nanny (whom he allegedly impregnated), it didn't seem like a big deal to then-presidential candidate Kamala.

“I love you, Dougie.”

That was Kamala in a social media post on August 20, 2024, weeks after the nanny story surfaced.

When the Mail then broke the news that Doug allegedly punched an ex-girlfriend so hard in the face that she turned away, Kamala doubled down again.

“Happy Birthday my Dougie,” she wrote on Instagram days later. “You are the best, and I love you very much.”

Kamala's profile grew when she started dating powerful married politician Willie Brown (pictured with Kamala) in the 1990s, when she was 29 and he was 60.

If Kamala had somehow won the election, would rumors of marital problems abound? You wonder.

Most political marriages are transactional – we know that – but Kamala's potentially quick and brutal kidnapping of Doug would certainly be the latest example of the left's hypocrisy.

After all, it is the progressives who like to tell us that they are the real feminists, the real champions of women.

If that really described Kamala, she would definitely have said something about the ugly allegations against her husband.

You can't tell me this wedding hasn't been rumored in DC for very long.

Yet Kamala managed to market her marriage as solid, honest, and loving – selling Doug as that (gag!) “ladies man” – because the liberal media played along.

Who could forget MSNBC's Jen Psaki to Emhoff in their “interview” — really, a fawning exhaustion — last fall?

Psaki: 'Your role [as Second Gentleman] has reshaped the perception of masculinity… you are an incredibly supportive husband.”

Emhoff: 'I've always been like that… For me it's the right thing to do: support women. It's mutual for Kamala and I… we have each other's backs'.

For how long, we'll see.

Speaking of: Barack Obama has cut a lonely figure in DC in recent days, attending President Jimmy Carter's inauguration and funeral alone.

Michelle said she had “scheduling conflicts.” Skipping Trump's inauguration seems somewhat understandable: she apparently hates him.

But the funeral of a president who devoted his life to building homes for the poor and teaching Sunday school? Who had a loving, faithful marriage for 77 years?

No wonder rumors of a marriage breakdown are circulating.

And again, you can't tell me there hasn't been a whisper in years.

The so-called word in Washington is “separate bedrooms.” An apt description for mega-millionaires with lavish homes in four different states.

As recently as 2022, Michelle Obama admitted in an interview that she had hated Barack for a good, solid decade.

“People think I'm catty for saying this,” Michelle revealed. “It's like I couldn't stand my husband for ten years.”

That's a feeling most women wouldn't share with their closest confidant. But Michelle Obama shared it with the world – and has been holidaying with billionaires ever since without Barracks.

It all raises a lot of questions. And not least for a Democratic party and a left-wing media that likes to mock the Trump marriage, but is aloof when it comes to the Obamas, or the Harris-Emhoffs, or even Lady MacBiden, many of whom think they have a lot to offer. response after urging her clearly senile husband to flee again.

When it comes to political marriages, we need only think of America's most famous – between JFK and Jackie, wrongly sold as 'Camelot': a great love story that turned out to be a fairy tale.
