Given the president’s low approval ratings in important areas like the economy, why aren’t Democrats more popular? And what do Americans really think of Donald Trump? In this special episode of Americast, recorded at Maida Vale Studios in London for Castfest (celebrating some of the BBC’s best-loved news podcasts), we look at the latest election of Donald Trump and the Democrats. With the possibility of losing control of Congress in November’s midterm elections, why has the president lost support and how worried should the Republican Party be? Justin, Sarah, Anthony, and Mariana hear why former Trump confidant Tucker Carlson is apologizing for Donald Trump’s election, and that this may have more impact on Trump’s MAGA (Make America Great Again) base. We take a closer look at the polls for Democrats and why the party isn’t more popular. What should Democrats do to increase their support before the 2028 presidential election?
