The News Agents - USA The News Agents

Donald Trump is warning of the dangers to democracy posed by 'corrupt' Joe Biden. It almost sounds ironic. But Trump doesn’t do irony - he's more into inciting violence.
Today we speak to former US ambassador Matthew Barzan who worked on the two Obama campaigns. How dangerous is the threat of a Trump presidency in 2024, and, what does it actually look like?

Every time abortion rights are on the ballot, the Democrat candidates do well. That’s been the story since Roe v Wade was overturned 18 months ago.
And republicans are beginning to panic. Do they have a plan to win back voters? Does it include a softer stance?
Also today we hear from a Republican and a Democrat formerly in Congress. If Biden is doing so well, where is the enthusiasm?
Loretta Sanchez (D-CA) and Greg Walden (R-OR) join us, having spent the week working in the UK with the Eccles Centre and the British Library to try and convince people in the UK that the US still believes in bipartisan rhetoric.
