Listen "Party in the U.S.A.: Brace yourself, world"
Episode Synopsis
If it feels like the U.S. election has been going on for two to twenty years, take this in: we're now just two weeks out. This week Elamin calls up Hayes Brown, host of BuzzFeed’s Daily News podcast News O'Clock, and Wall Street Journal reporter Sabrina Siddiqui. They talk through the top stories in the last week, from the push to confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the competing town halls that replaced a second presidential debate.
Elamin thinks this is also a great time to zoom out and get a global citizen’s perspective. Because anyone who's paying attention will tell you that the stakes are incredibly high, not just for Americans, but for those of us watching all around the world. So, what does this election mean for world order? And why has foreign policy been so absent from the conversation?
