The State of US Politics
The State of US Politics
EPISODE SUMMARY
This week we explore US politics. Who’s up? Who’s down? What are the big issues? And how well is American democracy doing?
EPISODE NOTES
The soap opera of US politics rolls on. Joe Biden – the first octogenarian president – plans to run again in 2024. So too does Donald Trump, despite a series of ongoing legal cases against him
Beneath this surface, serious issues are at stake, around economic and climate policies, relations between the United States and China, the future stance of the US towards the war in Ukraine, and women’s rights and abortion after Roe v. Wade was overturned. And there are major questions to ask about the health of US democracy itself.
So, it’s high time we had one of our occasional reviews of the state of US politics. Joining us this week are the Co-Directors of the UCL Centre on US Politics:
- Dr Julie Norman, Associate Professor (Teaching) in Politics and International Relations,
- and Dr Thomas Gift, Associate Professor in Political Scie
