If elected, Donald Trump would walk into that office with an enemy's list.

Kamala, you fired. Get out. Get out of here. You're fired.

So this is it. By our next show, we'll know the identity of the next president of the United States, except if we don't.

This is the closest race in memory and one of the strangest and most foreboding as well.

How did we get here and where are we going?

Tonight, the Washington Week 24 Uncertainty Special.

Next.

This is Washington Week with the Atlantic.

Good evening and welcome to Washington Week.

So imagine this, a woman of black and Asian descent, who was a failed candidate for the Democratic nomination in 2020,

and who was a semi-marginalized vice president in a fairly unpopular administration,

may beat a former president of the United States in the

race for the White House.

This is completely improbable.

But what is also completely improbable is that the former president she's trying to beat

is a convicted felon who encouraged a violent insurrection against the constitutional order

and who has promised to be a dictator on his first day back in office.

It's all a bit much when you think about it, but it's not too much for our panel tonight.
