Emhoff continued, “I’m so glad Veterans Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough and Kari McDonough could join us as we thanked the hardworking staff at the DC VA Medical Center.”

Last month, Harris and Emhoff appeared on CBS Sunday Morning and opened up about meeting on a blind date. When Harris was asked if she’d Googled her future husband before meeting him, the Vice President replied, “I’ve never been asked that! I did! … So, yes, my best friend set us up on a blind date and she said, ‘Just trust me, just trust me.’ … She wanted me to just kind of go into it, and she said, ‘Don’t Google him.’ I did.”
