America: A History Podcast

IN THE MAKING: Biden Out, Harris In, and What This Means for Trump

Listen on

Episode notes

In the first of our new strand of episodes, America: A History in the Making, Liam is joined by show regular Emma Long to discuss the breaking news and biggest stories from the USA.

It's been a rollercoaster in American politics, as Joe Biden announced he is not seeking re-election in November, just over three months before the election, but within just 48 hours, Vice President Kamala Harris secured enough delegates to become the presumptive nominee.

So what does all this mean?

Is Trump still the favourite?

And what does Harris need to do to win?

If you enjoy this episode, why not listen back to these:

Who is Ron DeSantis?

How Are Presidents Elected?

Thank you for listening to our podcast. It's a labor of love by an American history nerd and his former lecturers at the University of East Anglia, but making it does come at a small cost so if you can spare some change, please check out our Patreon page.
