The post quickly garnered more than 330,000 likes and more than 39,000 retweets.

Emhoff, an attorney, earlier this year took a leave of absence from his law firm while Harris was on the campaign trail. He played an active role at in-person campaign events and virtual ones amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

He is set to make history as the first male spouse of a vice president and the first Jewish spouse of a vice president. Harris is set to become the first female vice president, the first Black vice president and the first Asian American vice president.

Presidential historian Michael Beschloss retweeted the photo of the couple hugging with the caption “The next Vice President and her husband.”
