Activist and podcaster Adela Cojab believes the Democratic base is gradually distancing itself from former US vice president Kamala Harris. “I think Kamala realised that she’s in touch with her own base, and for that, she has to move further left,” Ms Cojab told News24 host James Morrow. “The Democratic base is itself moving away from her. “Mary Peltola, who's a Democrat in Alaska running for Senate, actually just moves away from a Kamala Harris endorsement, so I don’t think this is going to go anywhere.”
