Since Joe Biden withdrew his presidential candidacy, the political situation in the USA has changed. The new Democratic frontrunner is Kamala Harris, while former President Donald Trump is once again running for the Republicans.
While Trump was narrowly ahead at the start of the election campaign, Harris has since made up a lot of ground and, according to polls, has significantly narrowed the gap to the former president, particularly among Trump's core electorate - which primarily includes white non-academics. However, the race remains dynamic.
USA expert Christoph von Marschall has reported from the USA under three presidents (George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump) between 2005 and 2018. Two months before the US election, he sheds light on the current political playing field in the country and talks in his lecture about the issues that move voters and how the division of society affects the election.
Dr. Christoph von Marschall is Diplomatic Correspondent to the Editor-in-Chief at the Tagesspiegel, an award-winning journalist and author of Was ist mit den Amis los? and Wir verstehen die Welt nicht mehr. More familiar with events in the USA than almost anyone else, he takes a refreshingly clear stance and always offers an analysis that is confirmed by reality.
