The Election Tricycle

Re-election Revelations: what can Modi's reinvention teach ups about Trump 2.0?

Listen on

Episode notes

Politicians and political movements are constantly reinventing themselves, and few have done it as effectively as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In 2019, Modi's BJP came to power with more hard-line, anti-minority rhetoric, which, in some ways, mirrors the campaign run by Donald Trump in returning to the White House. Emily Tamkin and Rohan Venkat discuss how these two leaders have managed the process of evolving their messaging and delivering triumphant restorations.
