‘Trump uniquely iconoclastic, charismatic’; Harris unable to ‘articulate’ policy, ‘appeal’ to voters

Donald Trump won a sweeping victory Wednesday in the US presidential election, defeating Kamala Harris to complete an astonishing political comeback that sent shock waves around the world. The polarizing Republican’s triumph, following one of the most hostile campaigns in modern American history, was all the more remarkable given his criminal conviction, a near-miss assassination attempt, and warnings from a former chief of staff that Trump is a “fascist.” For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective on Trump’s stunning political comeback, FRANCE 24’s Gavin Lee and Philip Turle are joined by Andrew Yarrow, Historian and former speechwriter in the Clinton administration, and Thomas Gift, Director of the University College of London’s (UCL) Centre on US Politics (CUSP).
