Harris candidacy brings Democrats hope, but party recognizes Trump will still be tough to beat

Politically Georgia

Former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, now a senior adviser to Kamala Harris' presidential campaign, describes how the candidate is bringing new energy to Democrats, who feared that President Joe Biden would have struggled to beat former President Donald Trump.

But despite the new enthusiasm Black female voters are feeling for Harris, and the possibility that young voters could embrace her, Bottoms acknowledges that Trump will still be challenging to beat.

Then, former Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, a "Never Trumper" Republican who weeks ago had endorsed Biden, joins the podcast to talk about how he sees the presumed nomination of Harris altering the landscape of the race.
