Summary

Whatever the US midterm elections are about this time around, one thing is clear: the results will have global ripple effects on US relations with Russia, China, and the state of democracy itself. Ian Bremmer speaks to two of Washington’s top reporters: DC power couple and co-authors Susan Glasser, Washington columnist for The New Yorker, and Peter Baker, chief White House correspondent for The New York Times, in a GZERO World podcast recorded in front of a live audience in New York City. They discuss their bestselling new book on former president Trump “The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021," the upcoming US midterms, Russia, and the state of American democracy in 2022.
