U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris is drawing attention to her Korean network as her approval rating continues to rise. The nieces and nephews who appealed for support for Vice President Harris at last week’s Democratic National Convention drew more attention as they wore Asian looks.
On the third day of the Democratic National Convention held at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, on the 21st (local time), Vice President Harris’ nephew, Jasper and Aden Emhoff, cheered for Vice President Harris, his “big mother.”
“No one is as busy as my oldest mother, but I always make time for my family, cooking and sharing meals, and the moment I exchange stories and jokes,” Jasper said. Aden emphasized Vice President Harris’s human side, saying, “My eldest mother respects my children, just like everyone else,” adding, “He is the one who made me feel that I am precious and loved.”
The wife of Harris husband Doug Emhoff’s brother is Dr. Judy Lee, a Korean-American. In other words, Vice President Harris and Dr. Judy Lee are East-West. Dr. Lee also attended a state luncheon co-hosted by Vice President Harris and Secretary of State Tony Blinken during President Yoon Suk Yeol’s state visit to the United States in April last year.
“There are nearly 2 million Korean-Americans in the United States,” Vice President Harris said in a speech at the time, “and Dr. Judy Lee, one of my family members, is also here today.” Dr. Judy Lee is said to be engaged in no political activities.
Representative Andy Kim of New Jersey, Representative Marilyn Stryklund of Washington, Representative Young Kim of California, and Representative Michelle Park Steele of California were among the Korean figures mentioned at last year’s luncheon.
Rep. Andy Kim spoke as a speaker on the stage of the Democratic National Convention on the 21st. He made his name across the U.S. on Jan. 6, 2021, when he was reported cleaning up discarded trash after hardline supporters of former President Donald Trump sparked a congressional riot against the presidential election results. He is trying to become the first Korean-American federal senator.
