Douglas' children have been staying away from political spotlight so far but they do support their 'Momala' in her vice-presidential campaign. The family occasionally spend time together and have a great time together. Kamala is also on good terms with Douglas' ex-wife Kerstin, and she once wrote in an article that they 'are dear friends.' She also commented about her family saying,' our modern family is almost a little too functional.' The vice-presidential candidate also went into detail to talk about what her family meant to her:

They are my endless source of love and pure joy. I am so thankful to Doug, to Kerstin, and most of all, to Ella and Cole. And as our family embarks together on this new journey—one that has taken me to South Carolina, Iowa, New Hampshire, Ohio, Nevada, and Michigan in the last few weeks alone—I can say one thing with certainty, my heart wouldn't be whole, nor my life full, without them.

Douglas and Kamala, along with their children, are truly seem to be a lovely family, and we hope we get to see them soon as the vice president's family soon after the election.
