A look back at Vice President Kamala Harris' memoir, 'The Truths We Hold'

Bodley Head

Soon after, he endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, who is poised to become the new Democratic nominee ahead of next month's convention. Today on the podcast, we revisit a 2019 interview between NPR's Rachel Martin and then Sen. Harris about her memoir, The Truths We Hold, her analysis of Donald Trump's popularity and her decision to become a prosecutor.
