The Washington Post Reporter who was Embedded in Kamala Harris’s Presidential Primary Campaign

We begin with a profile of Kamala Harris, Biden’s pick as his Vice Presidential running mate, and speak with Chelsea Janes, The Washington Post reporter who was embedded in Harris’s presidential primary campaign. A national political reporter with the Washington Post, she joins us to discuss how Kamala Harris started her campaign off with a bang attracting a massive crowd for her announcement as a candidate then ending up polling at only 5% before dropping out early.

He joins us to discuss his article at The Washington Post, “How reckless White allies could lead to the reelection of Trump” and how to avoid giving Trump campaign fodder and not undermine the non-violent tactics of the Black Lives Matter movement.
