In this episode Stephen Walt on the Return of Trump (Part 1) released on November 13, Randeria and her guest examine the factors which led to Donald Trump s decisive victory in the recent U.S. election. Did the Harris campaign’s insistence on issues of identity, rights and democracy overshadow people s everyday struggles with economic issues? What role did patriarchal bias and demographics of a shifting landscape of political preferences play in this election? And finally, will the bark of Trump’s campaign promises be worse than the actual bite of the coming presidency?
