When POLITICO’s Eugene Daniels thinks about how he'll cover Kamala
Harris as one of the new authors of the Playbook newsletter, he
remembers his grandma, who didn’t think her grandson would see a Black
woman vice president in his lifetime. Eugene joins Dispatch to talk
about how Harris will make history when she’s sworn in tomorrow — and
what sort of challenges she’ll face as “a first.” Plus, the Pentagon
deploys hundreds of active-duty troops for inauguration security. And
the Census Bureau director steps down.
