In a White House statement Thursday, Harris described herself as a “proud daughter of California” and said she and second gentleman Doug Emhoff are “praying for our fellow Californians who have evacuated.”
“Doug and I are praying for our fellow Californians who have evacuated, and we are thinking of the families whose homes, businesses, and schools remain in harm’s way,” the vice president said. “We are deeply grateful for the heroic first responders who are risking their own safety to fight the flames and help keep communities safe.”
