The 25-year-old models, sells knitwear, and has thousands of followers on Instagram. She triggered a first scandal with donation appeals for the UN Palestinian Relief Agency – while Israeli media are pinning hopes on Emhoff’s father as the first Jewish “First Husband”.
“Charli XCX gets it.” With these words, Ella Emhoff stepped into the campaign ring this week. Her stepmother, the Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, is simply a “brat,” a rebellious girl, cool. This is how pop singer Charli XCX, the ultimate “brat girl” of the summer, communicated to her millions of fans over the weekend – thereby aligning herself behind Kamala Harris as the Democratic candidate.
With her 320,000 followers on Instagram, the 25-year-old Emhoff primarily appeals to young voters. Against the backdrop of heated protests at U.S. universities against the pro-Israel policies of the U.S. government, she called for donations to the UN Palestinian Relief Agency UNRWA in the spring, causing a minor scandal.
