Episode description
With this presidential race now over, Emma reflects on an extraordinary campaign and the challenges that may lie ahead for Australia.
In the last of our daily election episodes of After America, Dr Emma Shortis reflects on the glass ceiling in American politics, the Democrats’ failure to address their own shortcomings over the last three decades, and why the Australian Government doesn’t need to just cop whatever challenges the next US administration throws at it.
This discussion was recorded on Thursday 7 November 2024 US time and things may have changed since recording.
