EA on International Outlets: Mamdani’s Victory in New York…and Beyond
Tuesday’s Elections: The Light Shines Again in the US
The Trumpists Promote Europe’s Far Right
I joined Times Radio’s Maddie Hale on Thursday for a 27-minute deep dive into the week in US politics.
We begin with Tuesday’s elections, assessing the scale of the Democrat successes in New York City, Virginia, and New Jersey. Is this the start of the pushback against Trumpist authoritarianism?
I evaluate the escalating damage from the US Government shutdown, now at a record-setting 38 days and threatening healthcare, food support, and transport as well as furloughed employees.
Maddie returns to the scandal of the late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein as the Trump camp, aided by House Speaker Mike Johnson, continues to block any release of the files which may or may not implicate Trump.
We close with the chest-bumping of Trump and Vladimir Putin, as they try to out-macho each other with threats to resume testing of nuclear weapons.
