The Shock Heard Around the World: how did Donald Trump win back the White House?

Donald Trump will be the next US President. From Washington, Emily Tamkin reflects on an election that felt like a shock to the system – even if the result is not wildly different to what we anticipated at the start of the year. So, what happened? And where did the Democrats' campaign to prevent Trump 2.0 go astray? From Cairo and London, Rohan Venkat and Tom Hamilton give the international perspective on how Trump's return will impact geopolitics and macroeconomics, not to mention the fragile state of democracies.Here are the Trike Recommendations from this episode:https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/12/modis-second-term-could-be-catastrophic/604159/https://www.ft.com/content/e8ac09ea-c300-4249-af7d-109003afb893https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/06/us/dearborn-michigan-trump-arab-voters.htmlhttps://forward.com/opinion/672031/trump-reelection-american-jews/https://www.criterionchannel.com/no-endSubscribe below to our contributors' Substacks:ET Write Home by Emily Tamkin (via Emily's Substack you can also listen to the PREMIUM version of the show)India Inside Out by Rohan VenkatDividing Lines by Tom HamiltonThe Political Tricycle is a Podot podcast.It's presented by Emily Tamkin, Tom Hamilton and Rohan Venkat.Executive Producer: Nick Hilton.For sales and advertising, email [email protected] watch a video version of the show, go to COOLER.NEWS Hosted on Acast.
