Kamala Harris was ‘chosen on the basis of identity politics’

International relations contributor Paul Monk says the Democrats “need” to say Kamala Harris was “chosen on the basis of identity politics”. The first debate between US President Joe Biden and his predecessor Donald Trump was held last week. “They [the Democrats] need to be willing to say Kamala Harris was chosen on the basis of identity politics, and we didn’t expect that she’d become president, and we need somebody now who will be presidential from the get-go,” Mr Monk told Sky News host Peta Credlin.
