Ella Emhoff says she was ‘set up for postive calls’ during stepmom Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign

Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter Ella Emhoff has opened up about her experiences during her stepmother’s failed presidential campaign, revealing that she was shielded from negative interactions by campaign staff. In a recent episode of the “Girls Rewatch” podcast, Emhoff shared that her cold calls to potential volunteers were pre-screened to ensure she did not encounter any harsh criticism.

The 25-year-old lefty activist expressed feeling intimidated by the cold-calling process and mentioned that other volunteers were often questioned about the identity of the person behind the calls. Emhoff also disclosed that she felt restricted during her stepmother’s time as vice president, lamenting that she missed out on carefree moments like those depicted in the TV show “Broad City.”

Despite feeling confined during her stepmother’s tenure in office, Emhoff is now embracing newfound freedom. She shared that she has resumed biking but recently had a minor collision that resulted in a hand injury. Emhoff recounted the incident, highlighting the chaos of New York City streets.

Last year, Emhoff faced backlash for fundraising for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which had its US funding cut due to alleged involvement in a terrorist attack in Israel. Despite the controversy, Emhoff has continued to pursue her passions in fashion and design. She has launched her own knitwear and textiles lines, signed with modeling agency IMG Models, and walked the runway for top designers during New York Fashion Week.

In addition to her fashion endeavors, Emhoff has attended high-profile events like the Met Gala and rubbed shoulders with industry insiders at exclusive parties. Despite the challenges she faced during her stepmother’s political career, Emhoff is now carving out her own path in the world of fashion and design.
