The first second gentleman of the United States was Doug Emhoff, the husband of Kamala Harris, the vice president from 2021 to 2025 and first woman in the position. Twelve second ladies have gone on to become first ladies during their husbands' terms as president. The first to do this was Abigail Adams, who was married to John Adams, who was the first vice president from 1789 to 1797 and then the second president from 1797 to 1801. The most recent to do this is Jill Biden, who is married to ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
