Profile: Who is Kamala Harris? (Part 2… VEEP!)

It’s the second part of our Kamala Harris profile, as Americast takes a closer look at all the major candidates in the U.S. election. In this episode, Justin goes back to why Joe Biden picked Kamala Harris as his VP, and discusses what she stood for, and achieved during her time in the White House. Why did she lose confidence in 2021? Which issue redefined her, and which Democrats hope will be integral to success in the 2024 election? Americast is also profiling Donald Trump, and Vice Presidential candidates Tim Walz and JD Vance - look out for our special episodes over the coming weekends!
