Supporters of Kamala Harris

Available for over a year

Could a woman of colour be the next President of the United States? That is what much of America has been asking this week and it’s at the heart of our conversations. Race remains a major political and social issue in the United States and there is plenty of discussion about Ms Harris’s background as a black and Asian-American woman. We bring together three black women Democratic party supporters: Kay in New York, Ashley in Oklahoma City and Keosha in Washington DC. With President Biden standing down, we get their reaction to the new choice for Democratic candidate in November’s elections. “Representation matters – the fact that my black girl daughter can see a black woman becoming the President of the United States, what can she not do, what can she not feel she’s capable of,” Ashley tells host James Reynolds. With the prospect of a Harris vs Trump election, we also hear from three male democrats. The cost of living, business costs and taxes are sure to be key issues. What will they be voting on?
