As Hillary Clinton throws her weight behind the Democrats’ midterm election bid, will she help or hinder their cause?
Bernie Sanders has announced that he’ll run for the Democratic nomination in Vermont but won’t accept it if he wins. So what’s he up to? We ask Jeffrey Howard, lecturer in political theory at University College London.
The GOP’s tariff proposal could be damaging US relations with its allies. Brian Klaas explains why there might be worse to come.
The former speechwriter Lance Price explains how Bobby Kennedy’s grandson could respond to Donald Trump’s first State of the Union Address.
Some of Trump’s achievements have been an accident: pushing up newspaper subscriptions, promoting sales of a tell-all book and inspiring minorities to march.
US analyst Brian Klaas discusses a week in Washington in which the concept of fake news has been stretched to breaking point.
Alabama, one of the most conservative states in the US, voted for Democrat Doug Jones as its new senator. Jacob Parakilas of Chatham House explains why.
Off-year elections in the US include a spate of mayoral contests across the country; we check in on three of the most exciting ones.
Monocle 24 regular James D Boys on what the defeated Democrat’s focus will be once she returns to the US from her book tour.
his week we report from the presidential campaign trail. Our panel reviews the chaotic Democratic caucus in Iowa and looks ahead to the New Hampshire primary. What does the economic and investment landscape look like as the general election looms?
A judge in Oklahoma this week ruled that pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson has to pay $572m for its part in the state’s opioid crisis. The firm is far from the only company embroiled in this ongoing and devastating problem that’s sweeping the US. But does this ruling, and a shift in the way law enforcement deals with those hooked on prescription medicine, show a country starting to come to terms with the severity of the issue – and even the beginning of the end? Andrew Mueller is joined by Anna Lembke, Sam Quinones and Beth Macy.
Last week’s midterms saw the election of record-breaking numbers of women and breakthroughs for minorities. Might Trump’s legacy be turning the US into everything his supporters like least – and fear most? Andrew Mueller is joined by former deputy homeland security adviser Amy Pope, UCL’s Jeffrey Howard and US Naval War College professor Tom Nichols.
For decades US schools have fallen victim to deadly attacks and nothing has changed. However after one of the more recent and most deadly the mood has changed – and it’s the pupils, not the politicians, who are leading the way. Could this finally mark a shift in attitudes? Andrew Mueller is joined by Alexandra Glorioso, Robert Spitzer and Columbine survivor Austin Eubanks.
The 2016 race to the White House was one of the most divisive campaigns in modern US history. One year on, we assess US cities under Trump and ask if there’s a silver lining: are they taking charge of their own futures?
He has been the president of the US for exactly one year. And, if all goes to plan, he'll remain so for at least three more. Love him or hate him, there's no denying that Donald Trump has changed American, and possibly global, politics in profound and unexpected ways. Andrew Mueller is joined by a panel of experts to discuss the highs and lows – and what to expect next.
This week all eyes were on Alabama. An election that would normally go unnoticed – even by a good number of the state’s inhabitants – became a litmus test for politics in the US. But was Democrat Doug Jones’ victory over the controversial Republican Roy Moore a one-off or is something changing in the South? Andrew Mueller is joined by Michael Harriot, Bob Davis, Joshua Rothman and Drive-By Truckers’ Patterson Hood.
Bill de Blasio’s first term was marred by investigations into his fundraising, as well as disagreements with governor Andrew Cuomo and President Trump. So what are the issues at hand as he enters his second term?
As commander in chief of the US and so-called leader of the free world, President Trump has achieved surprisingly little during his time in office. However, the country is still running and decisions are being made – but by whom? Andrew Mueller is joined by former US Senate aide Tom Nichols, chief national correspondent for ‘The Boston Globe’ Annie Linskey and former mayor of Minneapolis RT Rybak.
