Introducing WIRED Politics: Kamala Harris' Brat Summer Is Almost Over. What's Next?

We're in your feed today to share an episode from a podcast we think you might like called the WIRED Politics Lab.

As Election 2024 quickly approaches, our news feeds and timelines are filled with conspiracy theories, disinformation campaigns, and technological shenanigans. Join host Leah Feiger on WIRED Politics Lab as she cuts through the noise and helps you make sense of it all with the help of various experts and journalists.

In this episode, Leah is joined by writer and critic Hunter Harris. They discuss how Kamala Harris is harnessing social media to propel her campaign and what comes next in the run-up to November.

We hope you enjoy.
