Irishman In America - Midterms Countdown, Kanye's Meltdown & More (Part 1)

Marion McKeone, US Correspondent for the Sunday Business Post, examines the latest events, key races and moments in the lead up to the midterms. Is the red wave going to materialise? Marion explains why it might be too close to call. Why have 12 million Americans already voted and why is voter intimidation rampant in some states. 2.3% growth in the US economy? That can't be right? Or can it. Kanye West's pattern of petulance and self-promotion backfires once and for all. Marion and Jarlath sift through the pieces and wonder why it took this long.
