Description
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.
