America is changing. And so is the world.

But what's happening in America isn't just a cause of global upheaval.

It's also a symptom of disruption that's happening everywhere.

I'm Asma Khalid in Washington, D.C.

I'm Tristan Redman in London, and this is the global story.

Every weekday will bring you a story from this intersection, where the world and America meet.

u.k hi i'm ravi agrual foreign policies editor-in-chief this is fp live welcome to the show. Wow, what a week.

It is now clear that we've achieved the most incredible political thing.

Look what happened. Is this crazy?

On Wednesday morning, we learned that Donald Trump not only won the electoral vote, he is also on track to win the popular vote.

Winning the popular vote was very nice, very nice, I will tell you.

If he does, it would be the first time a Republican has won a majority of votes since George W. Bush in 2004.

It also upends several assumptions rooted in demography. For example, the idea that because America is becoming less white, non-white voters

would automatically gravitate towards the Democratic Party. That and so many other assumptions busted. Over the coming

days and weeks, there will be all kinds of post-mortems about what happened in this election and why,

and many attempts to parse exit poll data. I felt like it was too soon for us to do that on FP Live right now, and I thought it actually

might be helpful to take a step back.
