  • Bonus episode: Why women voted for Trump
    2024/11/07

    Donald Trump’s supporters don’t always get the facts right, when they big-note him. But the day after the election, they were right on the money. As vice-president elect JD Vance put it, we really did just witness one of the greatest political comebacks in the history of the United States. But what’s behind the stunning reversals that underpinned his win?

    Today, North America correspondent Farrah Tomazin, on why women flocked to Trump, when they were expected to lead Kamala Harris to victory, over the issue of abortion rights. And why Donald Trump now has a voting base so broad, that it’s even stunned many Republicans.

  • What went right for Trump, and so wrong for Harris
    2024/11/06

    Donald Trump has called it and it looks like he will take the American presidency for a second time. It would be a dramatic victory, one reminiscent of his stunning 2016 win over Hillary Clinton. And Trump, impeached twice by the US House of Representatives, would make history as the first convicted felon to serve as president.

    So what went wrong for Kamala Harris, and what went so right for Donald Trump?

    Today, digital foreign editor Chris Zappone, on how the election played out and the cultural realities behind the result.

  • Officials, voters brace for possible violence after US election
    2024/11/05

    It’s finally election day, after what can only be described as a surreal presidential campaign, with moments that might have caused even Salvador Dali to do a double take. But, there are signs that we haven’t seen the last of it.

    The main question on everyone’s mind is: to what extent will history repeat itself? The attempts by Donald Trump and his allies to disrupt the election process, still underway as this episode goes to air, contain echoes of the former president’s attempts to overthrow the 2020 election.

    Today, North America correspondent Farrah Tomazin on how the courts are responding to these latest election challenges. And what some Republicans have told her they plan to do, if Trump loses.

  • Australia’s student loan system is ‘broken’. Will the PM’s radical plan fix it?
    2024/11/04

    After weeks of media scrutiny that has painted Anthony Albanese as tone-deaf and out of touch with Australians struggling with financial distress, the Prime Minister launched a compelling pitch over the weekend.

    Should Labor win the next election, Albanese would slash student debts in a $16 billion dollar proposal.

    Young Australians are in desperate need of help. Student poverty - and hunger - has become so dire, that Western Sydney University has had to establish a food pantry.

    Today, Western Sydney University vice chancellor Professor George Williams, and federal political correspondent, Paul Sakkal, on whether the prime minister’s proposed reform would fix what many say is a broken student loan system. And if Labor is using student debt relief to buy the youth vote.

    2024/11/03

    Inflation figures came out last week, and the annual figure tumbled from 3.8 per cent to 2.8 per cent - the lowest since the March quarter of 2021.

    So is the cost-of-living crisis over? And what can Australians expect from the Reserve Bank meeting on Tuesday?

    Senior economics correspondent Shane Wright, and economics writer Millie Muroi, talk us through what the new inflation figures mean for you.

  • The polls still put Trump and Harris neck-and-neck. But are we in for a surprise?
    2024/10/30

    Should we be surprised that the last week before the American presidential election is breaking historical records? Probably not. This is, after all, the race that has brought us assassination attempts (two). And an 11th hour candidate change.

    Still, never before in modern presidential election campaigns, has the race been this tight so close to election day, say some commentators. And, forget policies. Who wins could come down to the weather on election day, or - as one former aide to Barack Obama put it - “the vibes”.

    Today, North America correspondent Farrah Tomazin on what the vibes were like in battleground states, during her recent trips there. And whether a legion of so-called shy Kamala voters could help her nab the White House.
