Alarm before the storm! – The Biden vs. Trump countdown, with guest Molly Jong-Fast

A brand new series counting down to the US Presidential Election – and explaining the whole nightmare for the British audience. This time: With six months to go, how (and where) are Biden and Trump still neck and neck? How is Trump’s trial for paying off Stormy Daniels taking shape? Are the campus Gaza protests and the police crackdown affecting the election? And should shooting a dog rule you out of elected office?  Nikki McCann Ramírez, of Rolling Stone, joins Jacob Jarvis and Chris Jones to discuss the latest issues in US politics – and Vanity Fair special correspondent and Fast Politics podcast host Molly Jong-Fast beams in from New York to give her take on the polls, the mood of the voters and the whole electoral thing. • “You have one candidate who wants to end American democracy and one who is old. Somehow the media is treating these two things as though they are the same.” – Molly Jong-Fast • “He’s been rehabilitated somehow since changing teams, but Michael Cohen has always been a sleazebag.” – Nikki McCann Ramírez • “If Trump wins, will we have elections in four years? I don’t know.” – Molly Jong-Fast  Follow us on social media:  Twitter Instagram  TikTok Written and presented by Chris Jones, Jacob Jarvis and Nikki McCann Ramírez. Audio editor: Simon Williams.
