Having successfully gained ample backing from her Democratic representatives, Vice President Kamala Harris is poised to contest against Donald Trump in the imminent presidential elections this November.
Harris, previously a criminal lawyer and a state prosecutor, proactively establishes herself as a stark contrast to her adversary, who has been twice impeached and is a proven law-breaker.
This week, Wisconsin was the setting for Harris’s inaugural election campaign speech, where she underlined ex-President Trump’s criminal indictments. As a former prosecutor, Harris’s experience led her to confront various types of criminals, ultimately allowing her to understand the nature of individuals like Trump.
Subsequently, she moved to Indianapolis for addressing the historically black sorority group, Zeta Phi Beta, in an effort to get their electoral support.
BBC News Chief Presenter Caitríona Perry discusses on The Women’s Podcast how Harris seized this opportunity to shed light upon topics associated with women’s rights, reproductive rights, children and family rights, childcare and paid parental leave amongst others. These are topics where Harris’s views are starkly different from Trump’s.
Moreover, Perry holds a conversation with Róisín Ingle about Harris’s political advancement, her stand on critical issues, and the potential contributions she could make if she emerges victorious in the upcoming November elections.
