The Kamala Harris Interview

The episode features a full interview with Kamala Harris, the former Vice President of the United States. Harris discusses her short-lived presidential campaign, detailing the unique circumstances that led to her candidacy and the various factors that influenced its outcome, including public perception of President Biden’s age and health. Harris takes responsibility for the campaign despite acknowledging external challenges, emphasizing the lack of time to connect with voters.

She addresses the perception that Biden's withdrawal was influenced by his personal ambitions rather than a collective decision, citing that her campaign barely had three months to establish itself. She discusses her concerns about his capacity to run again and how that influenced her campaign decisions.

Throughout the conversation, Harris critiques Trump's leadership style, labeling him a fascist and tyrant, citing his manipulation of federal institutions for personal gains.

As she hints at the possibility of running for office again, Harris expresses her commitment to serve and listen to the public, reiterating her principle that fighting for what’s right takes time, even if the outcome is not immediately successful. She concludes by affirming her love for engaging with everyday Americans and her ongoing political journey, without definitively stating her next steps.
