Vice President Kamala Harris released a message on Thursday with her husband, second gentleman Doug Emhoff, wishing everyone a “happy Thanksgiving” and expressing “gratitude” for U.S. service members and their sacrifices.
In a video posted to X, Harris sits next to Emhoff, who talks about how Thanksgiving is a day when people “come together to reflect” on what they are thankful for. Emhoff adds that Thanksgiving is also a day where people cook their favorite recipes and “share family stories” with each other.
“Greetings everyone, and happy Thanksgiving,” Harris begins.
“Today, we come together to reflect on what we are thankful for and to share our appreciation for one another, surrounded by family, friends, and those we cherish,” Emhoff continues. “We cook our favorite recipes, we share family stories, serve those in need, and give thanks for our blessings.”
