Three weeks until election: Does Kamala have what it takes?

Episode 196 Sneak Peek

Hutch and Pondering Politics, welcome to KK&F! We’re three weeks out from the presidential election as of today, and those hoping for a Kamala Harris victory may find themselves anxious over whether a candidate handed a nomination, a hefty war chest, and ample goodwill to win back the party’s more skeptical elements is going to be able to pull off a win. Kamala’s squeaking out wins well within the margin of error in swing states, leading Trump by two points nationally. It seems like an unnecessarily tough spot to be in this late in the election cycle, given Trump’s deeply lackluster campaigning recently and the excitement of the ticket shake-up that led to Kamala’s installation as the nominee.

We’re having Hutch and Pondering Politics on the show to analyze Kamala’s strategy in her two months of campaigning against Donald Trump for the 2024 presidency. How has she brought attention to key daily-life issues Americans face, and where has she failed to do so? Is the big-tent coalition she touts going to work in her favor when it comes to governing, or is she capitulating too readily to Republicans? We’ll get into all of this and more on Episode 196. Paying subscribers can watch it Friday when it’s released as a video on Substack; everyone else, tune in Saturday through your favorite streaming platforms, like Spotify, Pandora, Apple Podcasts, and more.
