How Kamala Harris is Finding Her Voice

CNN
About this episode

Vice President Kamala Harris thinks about everything as a lawyer first. That's an observation CNN Senior Reporter Edward-Isaac Dovere has made after many interviews with the Veep. Audie talks with Dovere about how Harris has deployed her prosecutorial skills against Wall Street CEOs, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and even President Biden in a debate moment that nearly derailed his campaign.

Dovere is the author of “Battle for the Soul: Inside the Democrats' Campaigns to Defeat Trump.”

Dovere: Harris is making unprecedented Black outreach efforts as Biden campaign looks to her to bolster support
