50 Days of Truss before the Midterms - a podcast by Sam Rippon and Chern Han Mah

This week's episode looks back at the last week in British politics which has resulted in Rishi Sunak replacing Liz Truss as Prime Minister. It also looks ahead to the upcoming midterms in the United States, focussing on the House of Representatives. After just 50 days, Liz Truss has left Office and has been replaced by her former leadership rival Rishi Sunak. What led to her downfall? How did the contest to replace her end up uncontested? And what are the notable appointment in Sunak’s Cabinet?

In the US, the race for control of the House is nearing its end and Republicans look well-placed to take control of the Chamber from the Democrats in just under two weeks’ time. Sam and Chern discuss the topics that have dominated the campaign and take a look at some of the more consequential and interesting districts. Will the economy or abortion play a bigger role in motivating voters ahead of the midterm elections nationally? Were the Democrats always going to struggle to defend such a narrow House majority? Where is control of the House going to be won and lost? And what are some of the most interesting races taking place? All these questions, and more, answered in this week's podcast.
