The Prospect Weekly Roundup: So Who Wins?

This week on our live show, David and Bob talk about—what else—the election.

by

We are officially four days away from the election. This week, David Dayen and Robert Kuttner devoted today’s episode of the Prospect Weekly Roundup to what might happen on Tuesday, and answered audience questions. They discuss what might happen if Donald Trump tries to steal the election, and what electoral protections are in place to prevent that outcome. And even if Harris wins the election fairly, how will the GOP work to obstruct her administration?

What is Kamala Harris’s path to victory, and have the campaign’s decisions helped her get there? David and Bob discuss the Harris campaign’s alignment with corporate interests, avoiding a definitive stance on the antitrust wins of the Biden administration and not commenting on whether she will retain the Biden appointees fighting corporate power. They also discuss why Kamala Harris hasn’t publicly distanced herself from Joe Biden on Gaza, even though it could cost her among young voters and Muslim and Arab Americans, especially in critical states like Michigan.

As we head into the homestretch of a contentious election season, we’ll be livestreaming every Friday at 12:30 p.m. ET to give you the information you need to understand the week in news. Join us next week by subscribing to our YouTube channel today!

A second Trump administration will cement a right-wing majority on the Supreme Court for a generation, and put our collective future in the hands of someone who will be virtually unchecked by our institutions. The country has shifted rightward, and the reverberations will ensue for potentially the next few decades. In this climate, a robust independent media ecosystem will be more important than ever. We're committed to bringing you the latest news on how Trump's agenda will actually affect the American people, shining a light on the stories corporate media overlooks and keeping the public informed about how power really works in this country.

Quality journalism is expensive to produce, and we don't have corporate backers to rely on to fund what we do. Everything we do is thanks to our incredible community of readers, who chip in a few dollars at a time to make our work possible. Any amount you give today will help us continue reporting on what matters to our democracy.
