283: Susan Mendoza (Illinois), Scott Klug (Wisconsin)

Metin čaj

Tokrat se nam pridružita Susan Mendoza, nekdanja demokratska kongresnica v zvezni državi Illinois, in Scott Klug, nekdanji republikanski kongresnik iz Wisconsina, da se pogovorimo o bližnjih ameriških predsedniških volitvah.

Od elektorskega sistema in “swing” držav, ki kar nočejo stati pri miru, do anket in vprašanja, ali utegne Taylor Swift res prebuditi mlajše volivce in volivke. Z nami sta delila tudi svoja opažanja o trenutnem političnem ozračju in medijih, ki spopad med Harris in Trumpom spremljajo kot konjske dirke.

Epizoda za vse, ki spremljate dogajanje v ZDA in potrebujete kanček navdiha ali pojasnilo zapletene politične igre.
