Speaker 1: DAYBAC podcast, available every morning on Apple, Spotify or wherever

3
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: you listen. It's Tuesday, the twenty third of July. Here

4
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 1: in London. I'm Caroline Hepke. Coming up today, Kamala Harris

5
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: secures enough pledged delegates to clinch the Democratic presidential nomination.

6
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: Attention turns to who the vice presidential pick could be,

7
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: with swing state politicians in focus, plus global implications. World

8
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: leaders rush to size up Harris whilst preparing for a

9
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: Trump win. Let's start with a roundup of our top stories.

10
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris now has more than enough pledged delegates to

11
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: clinch the Democratic presidential nomination. In a statement, she said

12
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: she was proud to have secured the broad support needed

13
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: to pick on our party's nominee. The news follows an

14
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: extraordinary day blitz that saw the Vice president consolidate her parties,

15
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: backing to challenge Donald Trump in November, and speaking just

16
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 1: hours ahead of securing the nomination, Harris sought to offer

17
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: a message of unity.

18
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 2: So in the days and weeks ahead, I, together with you,

19
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 2: will do everything in my power to unite our Democratic

20
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 2: party to unite our nation and to win the election.

21
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: And those comments from the Vice president are now presumptive

22
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: Democratic nominee were echoed by Joe Biden, who called into

23
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: the Harris event in Delaware.

24
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 3: The name has changed the top of the ticket, but

25
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 3: the mission hasn't changed at all. And by the way,

26
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 3: I'm not going here. I'm going to be asking the

27
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 3: campaign with it with Kama. I'm going to be working

28
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 3: like hell, both as a sitting president getting legislation passed

29
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 3: as well as.

30
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: A campaigning president. Biden speaking publicly there for the first

31
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: time since he announced his decision to exit the race

32
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Delegates will formalize the votes in the coming weeks,

33
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: with party leaders outlining a virtual balloting process to officially

34
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: designate a nominee by the seventh of August. Harris will

35
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: now recommend a running mate to delegates a head of

36
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: the party's national convention in Chicago in a few weeks time.

37
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: Larry Sabato, who's director of the Center of Politics at

38
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,119
Speaker 1: the University of Virginia, lays out her options.

39
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 4: I'm old fashioned. I think that you want to have

40
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 4: a balanced ticket, so you pick somebody who's not like you,

41
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 4: but can appeal to other segments of the party and

42
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 4: the population. And this is all about electoral votes.

43
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 2: You know.

44
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 4: You can talk about anything you want to, but you

45
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 4: win when you get two hundred and seventy electoral votes.

46
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 4: So you pick somebody who can win electoral votes. To me,

47
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 4: that means Governor Shapiro Pennsylvania. That's nineteen electoral votes. Or

48
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 4: Governor Cooper of North Carolina that's sixteen electoral votes. Or

49
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 4: Senator Mark Kelly from Arizona that's eleven electoral votes. Plus

50
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 4: he's already known because of his astronaut career.

51
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: Larry Sabato speaking there to Bloomberg's balance of power. Harris

52
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: will hold her debut public rally as a presidential candidate

53
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 1: later today in the battleground state of Wisconsin. Our recent

54
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: CBS News UGOV poll showed Harris performing better than Biden,

55
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: but still training Trump nationally. Meanwhile, Donald Trump's account on

56
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: truth social has put out a series of posts accusing

57
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: Harris of being a liar and saying, quote, be careful,

58
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: what do you wish for? Democrats will With Joe Biden

59
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: now out of the race, attention is turning to Kamala

60
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: Harris as allies and foes alike examine what a Harris campaign,

61
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: or even a Harris White House might mean. Bloomberg's Tea

62
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: Adebayo has more.

63
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 5: Most European governments are quietly cultivating relations with Republicans anticipating

64
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 5: a Trump return, but some are starting to turn their

65
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 5: attention to Kamala Harris. Top of the agenda is foreign policy.

66
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 5: Heads of state are assessing how Harris's approach to geopolitical

67
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 5: challenges might differ to Biden's. For Poland, her stance on

68
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 5: NATO is the priority, according to the country's interior minister,

69
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 5: while Serbian leader Alexander Vushich advised the Vice President to

70
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 5: persuade Michelle Obama to join her campaign. Further afield in Asia,

71
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 5: Bloomberg understands officials in Tokyo are optimistic that a President

72
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 5: Harris would cement ties with Japan, but while Poles suggest

73
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 5: Harris may be marginally better place to challenge Trump, that

74
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 5: doesn't alter the basic calculation for governments around the world

75
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 5: they need to be ready for a second Trump term.

76
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 5: In London, Teaware at a bio in Bloomberg Radio.

77
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: The EU's foreign policy chiefs plan to move meetings of

78
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: the bloc's Foreign and Defence ministers to Brussels from Buddapest.

79
00:04:54,120 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: It's a protest against Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Auban's diplomatic undertakings.

80
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: Things are traditionally convened by the country holding the EU's

81
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: rotating presidency, but member states have been angered by the

82
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: leader's visits to Moscow, Beijing, and to see Donald Trump

83
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: in Florida. Despite the criticism, Auburn says that he will

84
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: continue his self styled peace mission, and in our News,

85
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: economists say that the Bank of England may soon put

86
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: an end to Labour's honeymoon in the UK. The central

87
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: Bank is expected to remind the new government that the

88
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: UK economy is likely to barely grow in the long run.

89
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's senior economy reporter Phil Aldrike has been talking to

90
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: analysts about Britain's prospects. He says he thinks Prime Minister

91
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: Kirs Starmer probably regrets mentioning a desire to see two

92
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: and a half percent growth for the UK.

93
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 6: I suspect that Kirs Stalman regrets getting pinned down. He

94
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 6: was pressed and pressed in its interview. You know, the

95
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 6: Bank of England has its estimate of our sort of

96
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 6: growth potential that little more than one percent, So for

97
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 6: us to be achieving sort of two point five percent regularly,

98
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 6: that would be a step change.

99
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Phil Aldrick. His story comes ahead of the Central

100
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: Banks economic forecast that comes next week. If the new

101
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: government can't meet its growth targets, it will be forced

102
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: to either shrink the size of the states or raised

103
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: taxes so that on the UK. In terms of corporate news,

104
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: Porsche has cut its full year revenue forecast, saying that

105
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: a shortage of aluminium parts from a key supplier could

106
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: force it to stop production of some models. The carmaker

107
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: expects a revenue of up to forty three billion dollars,

108
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: That is down from its previous forecast of as much

109
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: as forty five billion. On Monday, Porsche dropped its targets

110
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: also for evs to make up eighty percent of sales

111
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: by twenty thirty, citing cooling demand and China's slow down.

112
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: Let's get back though to our top story. Kamala Harris

113
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: has enough support from delegates to clinch the Democratic presidential nomination.

114
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: She has quickly sewn up support from major Democrats and

115
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: has app access to Biden's ninety six million dollar war

116
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: chest for her campaign. In a speech to her campaign

117
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: staff in Wilmington and Delaware, she said that she knows

118
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's type. Joining us now to discuss the Europe

119
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: Executive editor Chad Thomas and Bloomberg's EMEA News editor Roslyn Matheson,

120
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: Welcome to both of you. Thank you so much for

121
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: being back with me this morning. We were having conversations yesterday.

122
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: Good to speak to you again now that we have

123
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: more details from Kamala Harris. She says that she will

124
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: unite her party. She seems to have no opposition now,

125
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: looking at, for example, the reaction in the US, The

126
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: Washington Post op ed arguing that Democrats are coalescing too

127
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: quickly around Harris, saying that a contested nomination might be

128
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: better for the party and for the country. Ros matheson,

129
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: what do you make of that and that message that

130
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: we got yesterday from Harris at her campaign HQ.

131
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 7: Well, certainly she came out to say that she intends

132
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 7: to campaign to win, and she's done a two day,

133
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 7: very aggressive push working the phones. This has been pretty

134
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 7: quick to get to that threshold of pledged delegates, and

135
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 7: also the donor enthusiasm that you talked about more than

136
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 7: eighty million rays just in the last few days alone.

137
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 7: But there is that kind of that message still coming

138
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 7: in the Washington Post in a few quarters in the Democrats,

139
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 7: that an open contest might draw out more talent from

140
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 7: the pool and counter that narrative that this is a

141
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 7: coronation and rather than being a contest for the nomination,

142
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 7: because usually it's a contest at least for the party

143
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 7: that doesn't hold the presidency, and the Democrats have fallen

144
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 7: a follow that narrative, you know, for years of lacking

145
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 7: a deep bench of younger people have seen your figures

146
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 7: who are quite elderly. I mean, look at the former

147
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 7: Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who's stayed around for decades. But clearly

148
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 7: the calculation here is at the priorities time and it's

149
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 7: going to be a challenge to rev up a new

150
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 7: presidential campaign with only months to go. So and you

151
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 7: know more they're bickering and jostling with each other. But

152
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 7: what might be interesting is a contest for a vice

153
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 7: president candidate that could be much more open.

154
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Chad, we did get a taste of how Harris

155
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: might challenge Donald Trump. He is still ahead in the polls.

156
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: Harris's speech on Monday, she talked about having been a

157
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 1: court room prosecutor. I took on perpetrators of all kinds.

158
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: She said. There was a sort of rustle of laughter

159
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: she said that, and this She also added, hear me

160
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: when I say I know Donald Trump's type. The question

161
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: for many European leaders now is whether Kamala Harris can

162
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: win the presidency.

163
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 8: Yeah. Well, she certainly is focusing on the idea that

164
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 8: she is a former prosecutor and that she is as

165
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 8: she moves forward with this campaign, she certainly will talk

166
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 8: about the fact that Trump is a convicted felon in

167
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 8: that when she says she knows that type, that's what

168
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 8: she's talking about, and that plays of course well with

169
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 8: her party base. Just to add, by the way, on

170
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 8: this idea of the contested convention, I think that a

171
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 8: lot of Democrats are still traumatized by the last time

172
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 8: they had a contested convention. It was also in Chicago,

173
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 8: which is where they're going to have their convention this year.

174
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 8: That was in nineteen sixty eight, and that really descended

175
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 8: into a mess. Hubert Humphrey, who was Vice president at

176
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 8: the time, went on to become the nominee and he

177
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 8: locks to Richard Nixon. And I think that that is

178
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 8: still something that Democrats are thinking about as they try

179
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 8: to move forward here very quickly in nominating Kamala Harris.

180
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's interesting, although it's fifty sixty years ago that

181
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 1: it is still totally fundamental to the Democrats psyche perhaps

182
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: ross in terms you mentioned the running mate who Kamala

183
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: Harris might pick. Most commentators seem to say a white

184
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: male elected official.

185
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 7: Well, that's right, and we just had a clip of

186
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 7: someone talking just before is saying again, you've got to

187
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 7: pick someone who balances you out. You've got to pick

188
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 7: someone who has strengths or support in areas that you

189
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 7: do not, because the whole point of this is to

190
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 7: have a collective of people who can win the ticket

191
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 7: on the day. And so there's a lot of talk

192
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 7: about officials who are governors of some of these battleground states,

193
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 7: particularly Midwest states, which is where she's seen as less strong,

194
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 7: and to balance out the fact that she is a

195
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 7: woman by perhaps having a male as a vice president candidate.

196
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 7: As you say, they all seem to be a group

197
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 7: of white males as well, which might raise a few eyebrows,

198
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 7: but they are coalescing around some of these governors Josh

199
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 7: Shapiro from Pennsylvania, Coopa from North Carolina, also the governors

200
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 7: of Kentucky, Minnesota, and has discussed previously. Mark Kelly of

201
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 7: Arizona is quite intriguing, former astronaut, a veteran, someone who

202
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 7: does resonate potentially with voters. But what you are seeing

203
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 7: is that Lee six to eight possibly more names in

204
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 7: the mix, and that's obviously Lane that we're going to

205
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 7: be looking for the her to decide pretty quickly, because again,

206
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 7: the two of them need to be on the road

207
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 7: together campaigning very soon.

208
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: Chad. Most European governments are quietly also cultivating relationships with Republicans.

209
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: We've mentioned that a number of times, and there have

210
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: been also new attack lines. You know, it's pretty quick

211
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 1: the back and forth in the US. JD Vance talking

212
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: about Joe Biden. You know that the Democrats have thrown

213
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: Joe Biden overboard, and that that is a threat to democracy.

214
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: I mean, the language of the two political parties often

215
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: sort of seems to mirror each other. The Republican election

216
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: strategy taking shape, do you think, yeah.

217
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 8: The Republicans have put together a campaign strategy that was

218
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 8: to run against Joe Biden, and so they're basically taking

219
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 8: that playbook and they're turning it on Kamala Harris and

220
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 8: they're they're they're already yesterday. If you think Joe Biden

221
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 8: was bad, dear voter, Kamala Harris was there in the

222
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 8: room with him every day. She knew that he wasn't well,

223
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 8: and she went along with this charade. And if you

224
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 8: thought he was bad, Kamala Harris will belie even worse.

225
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 8: So they've essentially taken the playbook that they had already

226
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 8: put together for the campaign, and now they're turning it

227
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 8: on Kamala Harris, saying things like immigration. She was the

228
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 8: person who was dealing with that in the White House.

229
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 8: This is the topic that's very front and center for voters,

230
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 8: especially in the border states, and so it's very clear

231
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 8: that this is going to be the line of attack

232
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 8: as we moved toward November.

233
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: Chad, in that case, how much do we know then

234
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: what President Harris's foreign policy might be in terms of

235
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: differences with Biden, indeed, what harris White House might look

236
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 1: like in terms of differences to Biden.

237
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 8: Well, she didn't have a lot of room to maneuver

238
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 8: on foreign policy as vice president. That was an area

239
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 8: that Biden really kept for himself. But she has given

240
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 8: a few speeches and it's very clear that she, like Biden,

241
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,599
Speaker 8: is someone who believes in a foreign policy that embraces

242
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 8: the world. It's certainly not the isolationism that Trump or

243
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 8: jd Vance has talked about. So for many leaders, they

244
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 8: obviously knew what they got with President Biden. He was

245
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 8: someone who was actively involved in foreign policy for fifty years.

246
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 8: But they are likely to get continuity with Kamala Harrison.

247
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 8: Some of the leaders that we were speaking to in

248
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 8: the last day or so, we're talking as well about

249
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 8: Kamala Harris's national security advisor is a man named Philip Cordon,

250
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 8: and he's someone who's very well known in European foreign

251
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 8: policy circles, someone who has spent time in Europe, and

252
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 8: that was something that they see as a positive, someone

253
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 8: close to her that obviously understands what's happening in Europe closely.

254
