How Harris Incorporates Biography Into Her Election Pitch

  • Summary

  • Kamala Harris often quotes her mother on the campaign trail: "Don't let people tell you who you are. You tell them who you are." Though she would be the first Black woman and person of South Asian descent to serve as president, she rarely explicitly talks about the historic nature of her candidacy. Instead, she weaves her identity and biography into her issue-focused campaign message.

    This episode: White House correspondent Deepa Shivaram, senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith, campaign reporter Stephen Fowler, and senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro.

    The podcast is produced by Jeongyoon Han, Casey Morell and Kelli Wessinger. Our editor is Eric McDaniel. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
