Fear and loathing on the 2020 campaign trail....

'Feb 26, White House briefing room: the coronavirus feels like it is changing everything.... Coronavirus is suddenly not just a public health emergency; it has the potential to upend Trump's whole campaign.... '

Our man in America, BBC North America Editor Jon Sopel, presents a diary of an election like we've never quite seen before. Experience life as a White House reporter on the campaign trail, as the election heats up and a global pandemic slowly sweeps in, challenging the very institutions of American politics and the Trump presidency. As American lives are lost at a devastating rate, the election becomes a battle for the very soul of the nation. 

In this highly personal account of reporting America in 2020, Jon Sopel takes you behind the senses of White House in crisis and an election in turmoil. Expertly laying bare the real story of the 2020 campaign in a panoramic account of an election and a year like no other.

The only problem is, it ends before the Washington up raising. I think there will be a second edition with a new final chapter.

Great listen. The final instalment.

I hung on ever word. Being a huge America’s fan, this was an unmissable event. Thank you to Jon Sopel for its vivid descriptions, humour, honesty. Now moving onto ‘If only they didn’t speak English’ as I am in mourning that this has finished.

Wonderful

Great to hear a contemporaneous account of the 2020 US presidential campaign. Beautifully written and read. Would have liked the timeline to go a little bit beyond 7th November as the story of the election was not finished then by a long way.
