Summary

Been to bed yet? Thinking about going straight back? Yasmeen Serhan gives Andrew Harrison her morning-after interim report on the dismal deadlock in the Presidential Election. How has Trump done so well? Can Biden still scrape it? Did the polls get it wrong? And has America just given brutal populism a vote of confidence? “This election was a test for whether populist politics will stay or not… the fact it’s so close shows that it will.” “My fear is that millions of Americans will come away from this believing that our system is corrupted.” “There are other Trumps waiting in the wings” Presented and produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers Jelena Sofronijevic and Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees.
