Daniel McCarthy on what the Trump revolt means for America.
The 2020 election has been billed largely as a referendum on Donald Trump. The polls have Joe Biden on top but the result is far from certain. Trump continues to receive fierce criticism for his handling of Covid-19, which has also wiped out many of the economic gains which would otherwise have been the centrepiece of his re-election campaign. Last time around, he was elected on a wave of anti-establishment anger. But has he delivered for those voters, and can he pull off another upset?
Daniel McCarthy is a writer and editor of Modern Age, a quarterly journal on conservative thought. Prior to that, he was editor-at-large at The American Conservative. He joined spiked editor Brendan O’Neill for the latest episode of The Brendan O’Neill Show. What follows is an edited extract from their conversation. Listen to the full episode here.
