Last few tickets
The year 2026 marks a pivotal moment in Donald Trump’s second term: Americans head to the polls in the mid-term elections to decide the fate of the Trumpian reign.
Journalist Katty Kay and former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci reveal secrets from inside the White House inner circles, as well as taking a wider look at the intricacies of the society of the United States and how they shape the world’s most important economy.
After a decade of MAGA politics, will the nation pull itself back from the brink, or is Trump’s strongman populism only gaining momentum?
