In this extra bonus, following on from a previous main episode, we delve into the prospects of Kamala Harris winning the presidency and the broader implications for women and candidates of color in American politics.
Special guest Farida Jalalzai shares her insights on Harris' current campaign dynamics, highlighting both the enthusiasm surrounding her candidacy and the criticisms regarding the perceived lack of policy substance. Plus, we touche on the unique challenges Harris faces as a woman and a person of color, including the heightened scrutiny she may encounter compared to her male counterparts.
We also discuss the impact of upcoming debates (as this episode was recorded before the Harris - Trump debate), particularly how Harris' performance could shape public perceptions and expectations for future female candidates.
