Processing Kamala’s Loss with Jamilah King
What can Kamala Harris’ defeat tell us about American attitudes towards Black women and other marginalized genders? This week, Imara is joined by Jamilah King, an editorial director at Mother Jones, to answer this question from a political and personal perspective. The two discuss how the Covid-19 pandemic, rage, and misogyny might have contributed to the election outcome. Jamilah shares her insights about whether Harris really wanted to be president and how her 2024 campaign might have been just another example of a Black woman being set up to fail.
