Chapter 4: Vice President
Listen now
Description
Kamala Harris is the first woman in U.S. history to serve as Vice President, a role once described by someone in it as not "worth a pitcher of warm spit." What does the Veep actually do? And why does the role matter? Jenny dives into the history of the vice presidency, sheds light on the hurdles women running for executive office face, and chats with another woman hoping to be a significant first. She speaks with a variety of experts, including former North Dakota AG and Senator Heidi Heitkamp and former Virginia State Delegate and current gubernatorial candidate Jennifer Carroll Foy.
