About this episode
Today, as the countdown to the US election enters its final hours, we discuss what a win for either candidate might mean internationally, and whether an appearance on SNL or a squirrel in New York could make all the difference.
Adam is joined by Lyse Doucet, the BBC’s chief international correspondent; Ben Ansell, Professor of Comparative Democratic Institutions at the University of Oxford; and Nick Bryant, former BBC correspondent in New York and Washington and author of ‘The Forever War: America’s Unending Conflict with Itself.’
