Episode description

Kamala Harris closed the DNC with a speech that she hopes will sway voters to the Democrats.

The day began with speculation over whether she might be joined on stage by Taylor Swift or Beyoncé.

In the end, Harris took to the stage alone and focused on her upbringing and a pitch to America’s middle class.

The team assemble on the final night of the convention to analyse whether she did enough to win over the undecided.

HOSTS: • Justin Webb, Radio 4 presenter • Sarah Smith, North America editor • Anthony Zurcher, North America correspondent
