Federal Hill Under Siege?

Guest: Professor Peter Beattie, Political Economist & Political Psychologist, Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK)
Donald Trump is once again President of the United States of America.
He did so by defeating Democratic Party candidate Kamala Harris relatively comfortably. Heading to this year’s polls, all eyes were on the seven swing states – Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada and North Carolina. Trump managed to win every single one of these states. Not only that, but he is also the first Republican candidate to win the popular vote since George W. Bush in 2004.
So, how did he do it?
We speak to Prof Peter Beattie, Political Economist & Political Psychologist at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK).
In part 2 of this conversation, we discuss:
• How progressives like Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar won their seats despite not endorsing Kamala Harris and Joe Biden
• Is the Obama coalition finished?
• What’s the antidote to right-wing populism?
• What we can expect from Trump 2.0
