Another Take: Will Kamala Harris tip the scales with Black women?

The Take

Every Saturday, we revisit a story from the archives. This originally aired on September 16, 2020. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed.

Joe Biden kept his promise: The Democratic nominee for US President picked a woman as his running mate. Kamala Harris is a senator and the daughter of South Asian and Black immigrants.

Now that we know she's on the ticket, we're revisiting an episode exploring the power of Black women voters — one of the most important slices of the American electorate in deciding who takes the White House.

In this episode:

• Imaeyen Ibanga (@iiwrites), presenter and reporter for AJ+
• Glynda Carr (@glyndacarr) president and CEO of Higher Heights for America
