Kamala Harris has been hailed as the candidate of ‘joy’. But is there any substance beneath the supposedly feelgood vibes? Here, Lionel Shriver – author of Mania – tells spiked that there’s something fraudulent about Harris, who she says has never had an original idea nor held a consistent principle. Shriver also weighs in on the interminable ‘Trump is a fascist’ debate, the incompetence of Tim Walz and the dangers of a tight election result.
