We are in the most turbulent month of the US presidential campaign: one of the presidential candidates, Donald Trump, was the victim of an assassination attempt, and the other, Joe Biden, stepped down after a long struggle in favor of his running mate Kamala Harris. Since then, the campaign has been thriving, with quirky memes, interesting new characters and exciting twists. In today’s broadcast, we talk to Gergely Toth and Zsolt Hanula, journalists from Telex, about the political ups and downs of the past few weeks.
The broadcast discusses, among other things, that:
- How has Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris' campaign evolved in the first three weeks, and what image has she created of herself through her “hyena laugh” and coconut remarks?
- How well does the campaign show up in public opinion polls? Can Harris beat Trump?
- What does Harris' vice presidential running mate, small-town teacher and football coach turned Minnesota governor Tim Walz, bring to the campaign?
- How he touched a Republican sore spot when he called Trump and his vice president “weirdos.”
- Can Trump regain control of the campaign, and how will Project 2025 affect his campaign?
