The 2016 Election

from Darkest Hour Hosted by Michael Mendy

In this episode of Darkest Hour we’re taking a closer look at the 2016 Presidential Election—a pivotal moment in modern American history. We’ll explore how the race unfolded, starting with the candidates’ announcements and the strategies they used to navigate one of the most crowded and contentious election cycles in decades. From Hillary Clinton’s historic campaign as the first woman to secure a major party nomination to Donald Trump’s unconventional rise as a political outsider, this election challenged expectations at every turn. Along the way, we’ll break down the major turning points: the debates that dominated headlines, the controversies that reshaped the narrative like the FBI Director James Comey's surprise and of course Donald J. Trump has a few surprises of his own, these October surprises shook both campaigns in the final weeks. Narrated by Michael Mendy.
