Executive Editor of
The
American Prospect David Dayen returns to
Bad Faith to help decipher Kamala
Harris’ economic policy. Having dodged interviews and eschewed
policy proposals, we’re left reading the tea leaves — analyzing who
she’s surrounded herself with, and what her surrogates have been
saying on CNBC and beyond. What does it mean that her
brother-in-law, Uber’s chief legal officer & an Obama DOJ alum, is
a senior advisor? How does someone who fought for drivers to be
classified as contract employees advise Kamala’s labor policy? Will
she be an ally for the banks over the people, echoing the DOJ’s
choices after the financial crash? When people close to the
candidate refuse to give straight answers on whether Lina Khan will
remain head of the FTC, is it because Kamala is trying to avoid
ticking off donors who want her gone? Or is it because she’s trying
to avoid ticking off the voters who think she’s the best thing
Biden been did?
Few are better equipped
than Dayen to break it all down.
