Was Kamala Harris the right choice for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden? Is she a policy radical or a centrist? What are her foreign policy views, and will they be influential in a Biden administration, or will the president set his own agenda?

These and other questions are raised in this discussion hosted by Lowy Institute Executive Director Michael Fullilove, author of Rendezvous with Destiny: How Franklin D Roosevelt and Five Extraordinary Men Took America Into the War and Into the World. Michael is joined by Lowy Institute Senior Fellow Richard McGregor, former Washington bureau chief for the Financial Times.
