Race to the White House – the state of the US presidential race and populist politicians

The high-stakes race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump for the White House will impact America, Australia and the rest of the world. EPAIn the first podcast of our series, Race to the White House, Brendon O'Connor and Tom Switzer talk with Emma Lancaster about the current state of the US presidential race. Who is leading in the polls? Which states will matter in November? How can either candidate carve out a path to the 270 Electoral College votes required to win? Also on the agenda: should we consider Republican nominee Donald Trump a populist politician?
