US elections

Democracy is under attack across the western world – from external powers like Russia, China and Iran, and from inside: the rise of populism, disinformation and organised crime. 

We spoke to Marc Lotter from the America First Policy Institute. He was director of communications for Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign and served as Special Assistant to President Trump during his first year in office.

In the split screen world of America’s divided politics, Fox News is focusing heavily on the resignation of Kimberly Cheattle, the head of the secret service, held responsible for failing to protect Donald Trump, while CNN and MSNBC are hailing Kamala Harris’ campaign for the presidency.

Vice President Kamala Harris is the favourite to be the Democratic nominee for president after Joe Biden’s shock decision to drop out of the race – but can she really beat Donald Trump?  

The political bombshells have been dropping so thick and fast here, it’s almost impossible to keep up.

We speak to pollster and political strategist Cornell Belcher.

He might be the oldest president in US history – but Joe Biden was once one of its youngest senators, when he began his political career more than half a century ago. 

We spoke to Susan Platt – who was Joe Biden’s former chief of staff in the senate.

America will go to the polls to choose the next President in just over a hundred days.

She’s spent four years battling lacklustre approval ratings and even some ridicule. But Kamala Harris will almost certainly become the Democrats’ nominee to take on Donald Trump in November. 

We’re joined by Mr Biden’s biographer Chris Whipple, author of The Fight of His Life: Inside Joe Biden’s White House.

The President hasn’t been seen since Wednesday last week.

Joe Biden is said to be “seething” at the apparent disloyalty of his own party.

We spoke to Donald Trump’s niece Mary Trump – a psychologist and author who’s written a book about the family.
