Episode notes

With two days to left before Tuesday’s election, Fareed is joined by Ron Brownstein, a senior editor at The Atlantic, and Emily Bazelon, staff writer for The New York Times Magazine. They discuss the demographic shifts in party affiliation, the latest polling, and the Republican strategy of flooding the courts with legal challenges ahead of the election. 

 

Then, former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson joins the show to discuss his new book “Unleashed,” why he still believes Brexit was the right decision, and his hopeful outlook on Western support for Ukraine under a possible second Trump presidency. 

 

Finally, The Wall Street Journal’s chief China correspondent Lingling Wei speaks with Fareed about how China is seeing the US election, and explains why Chinese leader Xi Jinping might be wary of a second Donald Trump presidency.
