Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff make a stop at the NYC hotspot Polo Bar before attending the Met Gala
Make way for the Kamala convoy!
Former Vice President Kamala Harris and husband Doug Emhoff swooped into one of the most exclusive bars in New York City on Sunday night — with her taxpayer-funded Secret Service detail and up to seven SUVs in tow.
The failed Democrat presidential candidate and her hubby were spotted leaving celeb hotspot The Polo Bar on East 55th Street ahead of her expected appearance at the Met Gala on Monday.
The pair posed for pictures and chatted with the elite crowd at the Ralph Lauren-owned bar, where reservations must be made a month in advance.

That means agents must protect Harris and Emhoff through July 2026.
President Trump could cut short Harris’ protection with an executive order — or, theoretically, Harris could say she doesn’t need it anymore.
The Polo Bar is known as one of the toughest reservations to get in New York.
Seats at the hot spot are released roughly a month in advance, and the dress code is strict.
T-shirts, athletic-wear, beachwear, hoodies, hats and ripped jeans are all forbidden.
