Meanwhile, Kamala Harris’ husband has scripted history as he will be first male spouse of a vice president in US when she takes oath of office in January. As America has never in its history before h a female President and Vice President, it remains to be seen what formal title - ‘Second Gentleman, Second Husband’ - will be given to first male spouse of an elected leer.
