SPECIAL | Kamala Harris’ bid for the presidency is historic. Is America ready?
Manage episode 433170780 series 1728074
It’s been just over two weeks since President Joe Biden took the extraordinary step of stepping down from the 2024 presidential race, making Vice President Kamala Harris only the second female to ever make it to the top of a presidential ticket, and the first female of color to do so. Is the country ready? What lessons can Harris’ communication team take from women who have come before her in seeking the most powerful office in America? And can they successfully manage to tame a Republican media narrative that may treat her race and gender as detractors rather than strengths? Amanda Litman, Co-Founder and Co-Executive Director of Run For Something, a progressive American political organization dedicated to recruiting and supporting young candidates running for down-ballot office, joins The Excerpt to discuss. She was also email director for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.
