As Donald Trump begins to prepare for his return to The White House, our US correspondents James Matthews, Martha Kelner, and Mark Stone reflect on his historic election victory.
From criminal convictions to a defiant fist pump after his near assassination, it has been an extraordinary campaign for the president-elect. Having spent the year crisscrossing the country, the team share their most enlightening encounters with voters in the run up to election. They discuss how Trump was able to broaden his base and why two of the Democrats’ top issues of abortion and democracy ultimately fell flat.
And ahead of his January inauguration, we hear what America and the world can expect from the first few months of a second Trump presidency.
