The Rest is Politics: US - With the US Election less than two months away and the polling considerably tight between Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump, the Rest is Politics US team have launched a new four part series looking into how Trump managed to pull off the Presidency the first time round. 

Journalist Katty Kay and former White House Anthony Scaramucci explore the reasons he defied expectations and managed to pull it off. Reasons such as if President Obama mocking Trump during a speech at the White House Correspondents Dinner, to whether The Apprentice marketing Trump as a successful businessman gave the impression that he was capable at being President. The first episode is available to listen to now, but you can listen to all four parts if you are a Rest is Politics US paid subscriber.
