Harris vs Trump: How We Got Here

<p>With the news that Kamala Harris is the assumed Democratic nominee for the November election, the presidential race looks very different than it did just over a week ago. Dan is joined by Ben Rhodes, a Former Deputy National Security Advisor for Obama and host of Pod Save the World, to look at the history that informs the platforms both candidates stand for. They discuss the development of the Republican and Democratic parties over the 20th century, the enduring appeal of the 'strongman' from before WWI to now and the changing landscape of campaigning in the 21st century due to social media and the internet. And, what would a Trump administration mean for the rest of the world? Ben offers his thoughts on that too.</p><br><p>Ben's show is Pod Save the World is a weekly podcast that breaks down international news and foreign policy developments</p><br><p>Produced by Mariana Des Forges and edited by Dougal Patmore</p><br><p>Enjoy unlimited access to award-winning original documentaries that are released weekly and AD-FREE podcasts.
