Lionel Shriver on the election that smashed identity politics


Listen Later

News that Kamala Harris has called Donald Trump to concede defeat means that the US election is all but over.

Lionel Shriver, author and columnist, joins The Spectator’s economics editor Kate Andrews to reflect on what happened, and how she's feeling now considering she disliked both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump as candidates.
