This week we measure the political climate in the U.S. in the lead up to the presidential election. With less than three weeks to go, what’s going on in the nation's capital? And what special role does the southern state of Georgia? We also explore how the next American president will shape politics on both sides of the Atlantic.
Monika Müller-Kroll talks with Studio Berlin co-host Sumi Somaskanda, who is on assignment in Washington D.C., and Katja Ridderbusch, an Atlanta-based freelance journalist for German and American media outlets. We also hear from Andrew Adair, a lawyer and public-policy advisor based in Berlin.
This show was produced by Monika Müller-Kroll.
