Kamala Harris, former Vice President, and her husband Doug Emhoff were warmly welcomed when they attended the FireAid benefit concert on Thursday night. As they walked into Intuit Stadium, Kamala was all smiles, and the audience gave them a standing ovation. Many people in the stadium seemed excited to see them and cheered in support of the cause.
FireAid is a special concert designed to raise money for people who lost their homes and belongings in the Los Angeles wildfires that spread across Southern California earlier this month. The event brought together artists and public figures to support the victims of these devastating fires.
At the concert, comedian Billy Crystal had an emotional moment, breaking down in tears and wearing the same clothes he had worn when he fled from the LA wildfire. Meanwhile, Sheila E., a famous drummer who once played with Prince, impressed the audience by throwing her instrument during her performance. Viewers on social media, particularly X (formerly known as Twitter), expressed their appreciation for Kamala and Doug’s attendance, as their presence helped highlight the importance of the fundraising efforts.
One post on X praised the couple for attending, saying, “Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff both attended the FireAid benefit concert in Los Angeles tonight, igniting hope and solidarity for those affected by wildfires. A powerful reminder of the strength found in community and the enduring spirit of togetherness in times of recovery.”
Others shared their admiration, with one person saying, “Thank you @KamalaHarris, thank you for being a symbol of grace, determination, and perseverance. I salute you while sitting here at the FireAid concert just a few sections away from you!”
Some people were surprised to see Kamala there, especially since she used to be the Attorney General and Senator for California. One tweet expressed excitement, writing, “KAMALA HARRIS IS HERE AT FIREAID WHAT THE F- -K.”
Kamala and Doug both shared their reasons for attending the concert on their social media accounts. Kamala wrote on X, “Thank you to the artists who gathered tonight in Los Angeles for the FireAid Concert. Angelenos will continue to stand together to support those impacted by the wildfires and show gratitude for the first responders who help keep our communities safe.”
Doug also posted, “Kamala and I are grateful to be at the FireAid concert tonight in our hometown of Los Angeles. It is a wonderful night that shows the strength and resilience of our city as we begin to recover and rebuild from the devastating wildfires.”
