Will Kamala Harris soon be the first female president in the Oval Office? Or will it be Donald Trump again after all? The American presidential election will determine not only the future of the deeply divided country, but also that of the rest of the world. Is democracy really at stake? And can Europe continue to count on the US?
In the Amerikaanse Verkiezingsshow, journalists Laila Frank and Bernard Hammelburg dive deep into American politics and society on stage together with correspondent Jan Postma, live from the US. With gripping stories and sharp analyses, they reacquaint you with today's restless America.
