About this episode
Did Trump win it or did the Democrats blow it? What are the implications of a second Trump presidency for America and the rest of the world? Has rightwing populism delivered a fatal blow to liberal democracy? Catchup on the last of our three special US election livestreams. Alastair is joined by Dominic Sandbrook from The Rest Is History, Marina Hyde from The Rest Is Entertainment, and Anthony Scaramucci from The Rest Is Politics US, to unpack Trump’s historic comeback victory and grapple with what it means for all of us.
