"Who is Kamala Harris?"

Kamala Harris is America's first female vice president, but her professional and personal lives have not been free of controversy. With the help of powerful friends, she quickly rose from San Francisco politics to become a national figure and champion of the Democratic Party. So who is the barrier-breaking VP, and is she presidential timber? Hosted by Brian Kilmeade.

Kamala Harris became the first black person and the first woman to serve as San Francisco District Attorney. She did so with immeasurable help from her then-boyfriend, San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown.

As Kamala Harris became a player in California Democratic politics, many observers began calling her “the female Barack Obama”. It turns out, there was a lot of substance behind that comparison.

Kayvon Afshari

Kayvon Afshari managed the campaign to elect Hooshang Amirahmadi as President of Iran. In this role, he directed the campaign’s event planning, publicity, online social media, web analytics, and delivered speeches. Mr. Afshari has also been working at the CBS News foreign desk for over five years. He has coordinated coverage of Iran’s 2009 post-election demonstrations, the Arab Spring, the earthquake in Haiti, and many other stories of international significance. He holds a Master in International Relations from New York University’s Department of Politics, and graduated with distinction from McGill University in 2007 with a double major in political science and Middle Eastern studies. At NYU, his research focused on quantitative analysis and the Middle East with an emphasis on US-Iran relations. In his 2012 Master’s thesis, he devised a formula to predict whether Israel would launch a pre-emptive strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, concluding that an overt strike would not materialize.
