Mark Gilbert: Former US Ambassador to New Zealand on Kamala Harris gaining traction in the US Election
A historic presidential nomination looks to be in reach of Kamala Harris, who's rapidly gaining traction among Democratic supporters.
The US Vice President's campaign has raised $81 million in the 24 hours since she announced her intentions to run as candidate.
She's gained more than a thousand endorsements from Democratic delegates and is being backed by influential party figures, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Former US Ambassador to New Zealand Mark Gilbert told Mike Hosking that Harris has grown incredibly in her time as Vice President.
He says she's travelled the world and met with scores of world leaders and he believes she's the right person to carry the torch forward.
