Kamala Harris Might Really Win! (Why Trump is Losing in Polls)
Right before the 2024 US Elections, Mike has some good news for all Kamala Harris Democratic supporters: Some last-minute polling (source: "the internet") indicates that the Trump camp might be in trouble. Really? Can Harris really reverse her negative October trend? And can Joe Biden please not say anything anymore, at least publicly? This and more German-American banter and garbage - including swastikas - in the latest episode of THE AMERICANIST PODCAST.
The Americanist is a podcast about US politics and history in the Trump era. American democracy is under attack. A German historian/journalist and an American scholar try to make sense of it all. A transatlantic therapy session of sorts.

Will Harris' resounding victory in their possibly only presidential debate translate into November's election? The podcast's statistical powerhouse Mike disects the latest polling numbers as well as Kamala Harris' upside with Democratic voters. Also, there are way too many cats references, but, ah well, meow.
