The Rest Is Politics: US - Trump's Insurrection: The Collapse of His Presidency (Ep 1)
play

01/06/25 • 59 min

At the start of 2020, Donald Trump would have been fairly confident of his reelection. The economy was strong, unemployment and inflation were low, and his approval rating was as high as it had ever been. Then it all fell apart. As he struggled to deal first with the Covid-19 pandemic and then the BLM protests, Donald Trump’s approval ratings collapsed. Going into election night it seemed certain that Joe Biden would win. Whilst he did so, things were far closer than expected and when Donald Trump went out at 2:30am to claim victory, American democracy entered a shaky period.

Listen to Katty and Anthony discuss the final year of Trump’s first presidency and the 2020 election. This is the first episode in this miniseries on the events of January 6th and how Trump almost overthrew democracy.

The Rest Is Politics: US - Trump's Insurrection: Stop the Steal (Ep 2)
play

01/13/25 • 47 min

It’s clear that Joe Biden has won the election but Donald Trump will not accept it. First, he brings together a ragtag bunch of lawyers and tries to overturn the results in the courts. He fails. Then he tries to lean on governors and individual states, famously calling Brad Raffensperger and asking him to ‘find’ 11,780 votes in Georgia. He fails. So all he’s left with is January 6th and the hope he can pressure Congress into not certifying the results.

Listen to Katty and Anthony discuss Trump’s attempts to deny Biden’s victory in the period between election day and January 6th, in the second episode in this miniseries on how he almost overthrew democracy.

The Rest Is Politics: US - How Trump Won the White House: Did Obama Create Trump? (Ep 2)
play

09/23/24 • 44 min

Make America Great Again. This Trump message has become widely recognisable since 2015, when he began articulating his protectionist, anti-Washington, nationalistic, America First message. Trump wanted to appeal to the ‘forgotten men and women’ of America, those who had been left behind by globalisation. But he could not do this alone, so what team did Trump establish around him? How did they help him formulate his strategy? And how was Hillary Clinton shaping up to challenge him after her bruising primary against Bernie Sanders?

In the second episode of The Rest is Politics: US’ series on How Donald Trump Won the White House, listen as Anthony and Katty look at how both sides of the race prepared for the campaign trail. What was their strategy, who were their teams, and what message were they taking into the race?
