PODCASTS :The Take
Can the United States be united once more?
The Take is analysing the political future of the US in a post-Trump era.
22 Jan 2021
President Joe Biden has officially assumed the presidency, inheriting a deeply divided nation, a polarised Congress, and an economy severely affected by COVID-19. While the transfer of power was seemingly peaceful, that does not mean former supporters of Donald Trump are pledging their allegiance to the 46th president. How might that determine the landscape of politics in the US?
