Understanding the World: Simone Hulliger in Conversation with Andrea Christen, SRF US Correspondent

Description

In the USA, Donald Trump is acting with speed and radical shifts in direction, unsettling friends and foes, and causing worldwide unrest. In November 2026, midterm elections will take place in the USA. What happens afterward? Andrea Christen is traveling across the country as a correspondent. In conversations with local people, he seeks the stories behind the headlines. He experiences Donald Trump in his second term as an unleashed president who does not shy away from autocratic behavior. However, his poll numbers are poor, and midterm elections are always a referendum on the president's leadership. Where do the USA stand after the midterms? How is the Republican Party behaving? And when will the Democrats manage to field a serious candidate? Andrea Christen has been the US correspondent for Radio SRF since 2022. The historian lives with his family in Chicago.
