US election: can Kamala Harris beat Donald Trump?

Vice President Kamala Harris is the favourite to be the Democratic nominee for president after Joe Biden’s shock decision to drop out of the race – but can she really beat Donald Trump?

Some polls suggest Kamala Harris is even less popular than Joe Biden, especially in the crucial swing states and like president Biden – she’s stumbled a few times in public – leading some to write her off – but has she been totally underestimated?

To discuss all this and more, Matt Frei was joined by Christina Emba, staff writer at The Atlantic, and Channel 4 News’ International Editor, Lindsey Hilsum.
