Can Kamala Harris win against Donald Trump?

Former Irish Times Washington correspondent Suzanne Lynch covered Harris’s unsuccessful 2020 primary campaign and the early part of her subsequent vice-presidency.

She joins Hugh Linehan and Irish Times columnist Fintan O’Toole to look at who Harris is and how her White House experience has changed her.

They also assess the shape of the race for the presidency after an extraordinary period in US politics.
