She’s been our Vice President for almost four years now, but do we really know Kamala Harris? Joan Walsh first interviewed her for a 2003 San Francisco magazine profile when Ms. Harris was running for district attorney. She sat down with most recently just a few weeks ago, for a cover story profile of the VP for The Nation magazine.
The timing was fortuitous — or maybe just slightly early, as they spoke just before the ill-fated debate between President Biden and his orange White House predecessor and now again-opponent. And then everything changed.
Regardless, we’ll speak with Joan Walsh on today’s show about the woman who will (hopefully) be the first female President of the United States… She has the cover story in the August edition of The Nation magazine, a piece titled “Kamala Harris Steps Up.”
But first… what a contrast. Kamala Harris held another rally last night, this time in Atlanta. It was quite brilliant and yes, I have clips. And as I’m writing this an hour before showtime, I just finished watching the livestream of TFG’s appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago, which was the polar opposite of quite brilliant.. And yes, I have clips of that too….
