One week to go: Early votes, racist jokes, and Bob...

The News Agents - USA ·

2024/10/29

45 million people - or 20 percent of the electorate - have already voted. What do the patterns tell us about who might have the advantage? Later, we speak to Bob Woodward, of The Washington Post and Watergate fame, about Trump and democracy. And we ask whether Madison Square misogyny and minority group racism will put Trump voters off - or turn them on.Editor: Tom HughesExecutive Producer: Louis DegenhardtProducer: Natalie IndgeDigital Editor: Michaela WaltersSocial Media Editor: Georgia

Trump goes off message - but is that the plan?

The News Agents - USA ·

2024/10/22

With less than two weeks until the Presidential election, Donald Trump has carved out precious time on the campaign trail to focus on the size of a former golfer’s manhood and stake a claim to a McDonald’s Employee of the Month award. It’s certainly not conventional campaign strategy - but could it be helping, rather than hindering, efforts to gee up Republican voters? The polls are looking incredibly tight, so what does early voting tell us about the state of the race? And, with abortion on the

Why is Kamala Harris struggling with minority voters?

The News Agents - USA ·

2024/10/16

The old wisdom held that Democrats could rely on the votes of those in the Black and Latino communities - often immigrant families that felt that party were on their side. But in recent elections that has started to shift. Kamala Harris is struggling to win the Black vote at the same levels Joe Biden won it in 2020, which pushed him over the line. And her latest pitch is an economic plan specifically tailored to Black men. Is this smart or reductive? And can Trump capitalise on that gap? We’re

Is this the most gendered election ever?

The News Agents - USA ·

2024/10/09

This week, Kamala Harris was the unlikely guest on a sex and relationships podcast aimed at Gen Z women, asking them to ‘Call Her Daddy’ - it turns out it isn’t all blowjobs, redflags and narcissists. Meanwhile, Elon Musk was jumping around at the scene of the attempt on Donald Trump’s life in Pennsylvania, fist-pumping and talking about bloodied faces. The difference is stark. Could this be the biggest gender split in an election we’ve ever seen? All of this plays out with the background of two

Vance vs. Walz - Who won the veep debate?

The News Agents - USA ·

2024/10/02

Imagine a political world where Donald Trump doesn’t exist. That’s what the VP debate sounded like on CBS last night. There was none of the crazy talk. No stage stalking. Not a whisper of a pet eating migrant...It was just two blokes talking policy rather delicately. Tim Walz seemed nervous to a slicker more spirited JD Vance. But ultimately the Minnesota governor probably had the knock out blow when he asked his opponent “who won“ the last election. And JD Vance couldn’t say. Will this change the

Will the assassination attempts decide the election?

The News Agents - USA ·

2024/09/18

How to make sense of not one but two assassination attempts in as many months on a former president? Donald Trump says it's all down to the language that Kamala Harris and the Democrats are using. JD Vance has just called her 'the most fraudulent person to run for president'. Is it language? Guns? Or an impossible to police golf course perimeter? The first voting by post began in Pennsylvania this week. What does the attack bode for the November election and beyond?Tickets to see the News Agents

The News Agents - USA ·

2024/09/04

Trump has been having what our grandmother's mght once have called 'a funny turn'. He keeps saying things out loud he then regrets. He admitted this week he had both lost the last election and tried to interfere with the result. Then he argued against the 6 week abortion ban in Florida - saying it was TOO SHORT. And then offered America free IVF. None of which he'd agreed as policy with his VP. If this makes you think Kamala has the election in the bag, well, pause there: she doesn't. The polls are

Who stands to gain from the Trump Harris TV debate?

The News Agents - USA ·

2024/08/28

The rules of the last TV debate were set by Joe Biden. And that didn’t go so well for him...Jon has an incredible story of the hours leading up to that debate and who knew what. But right now those debate rules are being re- litigated by Kamala’s team, who now say they want the mics left live. Will it happen? Later, why is Trump now talking about women’s reproductive rights? And what does the suspension of RFKs presidential campaign actually mean for him, for Trump, and for Harris?Editor: Tom

“Yes She Can“ - The Obamas on Stage for Kamala

2024/08/21

Star quality doesn’t come much higher than an Obama. And last night at the DNC there were two. Michelle preceded her husband, the 44th US president, as they told the crowd to “Do Something “ to get Kamala Harris elected. This convention, these speeches, are all about the power of women. And there’s a reason that’s playing so strongly in this particular election.

Is Trump losing his grip on the race?

The News Agents - USA ·

2024/08/14

Since Kamala Harris took over the 2024 Democratic race Trump has been visibly suffering. He can’t work out her name, how to attack her, or even whether she reminds him of his own wife. Trump has barely been out on the campaign stump since his attempted assassination. Has he got PTSD or has he just lost his mojo? And what will happen to the democrats when he gets it back?Editor: Tom HughesProducers: Natalie IndgeDigital Editor: Michaela WaltersSocial Media Editor: Georgia FoxwellVideo Production:

Could Tim Walz win over Trump voters?

2024/08/07

What does Kamala Harris see in Tim Walz that has propelled him to be her VP pick? And what lines of attack will Trump and Vance use against the pairing now? Walz is little known in much of America - the Minnesota governor, former veteran and school coach has got progressive left policies but he is a gun owner with a love of hunting and fishing.

How is Trump coping with being called ‘weird’?

The News Agents - USA ·

2024/07/31

Kamala Harris has challenged Trump to a debate in the most ‘brat‘ way possible. She’s also introduced a new vibe into the Democrat campaign which involves calling the former president ‘a bit weird’. Is it unsettling Trump? Is it emasculating him? And what form will his response take? Later we discuss the potential VP picks - Kamala Harris will pick her running mate by this time next week.

Kamala Harris has received the backing of Nancy Pelosi, George Clooney and Beyonce to name but three. She's found a million new small figure donors and got the female power of Silicon Valley behind her. Meanwhile, Trump is having to think about how the campaign has changed overnight. Is the choice of his VP JD Vance still feeling like the right one? And who will Kamala pick to fight the campaign beside her - if she is crowned the new presidential candidate this week?

2024/07/10

George Clooney leads a growing list of people who have called on Joe Biden not to stand again in 2024. Will this shift the White House thinking on this thorny matter? Or will it take former Democratic presidents to weigh in before anything changes. Last night House Democrats seemed resigned to the status quo after their caucus behind closed doors. Biden is currently meeting Keir Starmer and others to celebrate NATOs birthday. NATO a full six years younger than Joe. And how is Trump responding to the

On his behaviour if he wins a second term?And on America's trust in the highest court in the land?Later, the Democrats find themselves, like their presidential candidate at times, frozen, in the aftermath of that TV debate.

Biden's appearances at the G7 photo call and the Democrat fundraiser have raised eyebrows because of video circulating that appears to show him freezing at certain moments. The White House says don't fall for the clips- they're edited videos or 'cheap fakes'. What's going on? Why are Dems so defensive? And why is Trump mixing up his own doctor's name when he talks about his superior cognitive abilities. It's all shaping up to be a bizarre first TV debate 9 days from now - and we may - may see one
