Episode notes

"I don't think we need to give the guy a trophy for doing his job."

After a defining couple of tweets, Laura Schwartz and Robert Moore analyse what finally convinced Donald Trump to give the green light for a White House transition of power to Joe Biden to begin three weeks after the election.

Daniel Hewitt meanwhile welcomes back Republican pollster Jon McHenry to give an insight into why the opinion polls once again served America so poorly as a prediction service.

Plus Laura shares a tip-off that Joe Biden may be UK-bound sooner than we thought before the team round-off the episode by keeping abreast of the latest presidential pardons on the eve of Thanksgiving.
