What Next for the Democrats?

from The Briefing Room · host BBC Radio 4

A year on from their shock defeat in the US presidential elections, David Aaronovitch asks how the US Democratic party is responding to Donald Trump's Presidency and assesses some of the challenges which lie ahead. What new policies is the party developing? Who are the potential presidential candidates waiting in the wings? And can the college-educated elite which dominate the party win back support from America's white working class who gravitated towards Donald Trump in such significant numbers? CONTRIBUTORSJon Sopel, the BBC's North America EditorDr Larry Sabato from the University of VirginiaJoan C Williams, author of the White Working Class: Overcoming Class Cluelessness in America
