SIM Ep 519 Chops 213: Hey America, what’s happening?

After four years of being constantly yelled at by Donald Trump, covid reports aside, it’s been eerily quiet since 46th US President Joe Biden’s inauguration on January 20 this year.  Independence Day seems the perfect time to have a look at how Biden’s doing, what’s currently going down in Washington and what the future may hold, and so Mickey and Hannah got on the Zoom with leading UK journalist Helen Lewis, who, as staff writer for The Atlantic, knows a thing or two about American politics.  They talk reasons to be cheerful, reasons to be fearful, Biden, Harris, the role of the media, extreme Republicans, and why Facebook needs to never give Trump his account back.  Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast.
