Short Wave

Weekly Roundup: January 21st


Listen Later

Kamala Harris made history when she became the first woman and the first woman of color to serve as vice president. But in an often thankless job, and tasked with a portfolio of politically thorny issues, her first year in office was a mixed bag.

This episode: White House correspondent Scott Detrow, White House correspondent Asma Khalid, and political correspondent Juana Summers.
