Published 2024-07-23
Vice President Kamala Harris is the favourite to be the Democratic nominee for president after Joe Biden’s shock decision to drop out of the race - but can she really beat Donald Trump?

Some polls suggest Kamala Harris is even less popular than Joe Biden, especially in the crucial swing states and like president Biden - she’s stumbled a few times in public - leading some to write her off - but has she been totally underestimated?

To discuss all this and more, Matt Frei was joined by Christina Emba, staff writer at The Atlantic, and Channel 4 News’ International Editor, Lindsey Hilsum.

Produced by Calum Fraser, Nina Hodgson, Shaheen Sattar, Zahra Warsame, Millie Teasdale, and Rob Thomson.

    Trump needs a new "insulting name" employee. Completely dropped the ball on "Cackling Kamala." This was a great discussion.
  • @ramstrong1961
    Don't mention the 20 or so American politicians in Congress over 80 years old.
  • @leehenry5764
    She will just laugh all the way through the debate😂
  • @johnw574
    Casual racism against most British people from Channel 4. I keep getting told racism is bad and then you do the opposite.
  • @Tremuoso
    immediately astroturfing Kamala as some exciting fresh new possibility 🤣🤣🤣
  • @WillCamx
    Will she be unburdened by what has been?
  • @k1k2lee
    Supreme Court just gave him immunity
  • @user-ln9oe8gm3q
    If she does it will be the final nail in the coffin for America as we know it .
  • @ibz0991
    She not a black woman. People really need to stop using that as a tactic. She mixed race, Black and Indian in EQUAL measure. Its actually insulting to actual black people. Shallow tactic.
  • @a.i.l1074
    The word "white" describes someone's ethnicity and is intended as a negative here. That's racist. Racism is morally wrong.
  • @nps7742
    And these people are not racist 😂😂😂😂😂😂 world is so funny
  • Yes, he might be but I would like to see cackles adlib in front of a 20 thousand crowd for 4 hours. Word salad would not last 15 minutes without spouting something no one understands. What they would know is the real meaning of the passage of time.
  • @troodon1096
    Utterly hilarious to me that the same people who have been saying there's nothing wrong with Biden's age for years are now going to try to make an issue out of Trump's. Interesting strategy; let's see how that works out.

    Lets hear her string a coherent meaningful sentence together…I’ll wait.
