US election: A test of democracy

BBC World Service - BBC OS Conversations, US election: A test of democracy

Joe Biden is the projected winner of the race to be the next president of the United States. Donald Trump, however, refuses to concede the election and many of his supporters continue to believe that he’ll remain in power after the inauguration in January. 

Host Ben James shares conversations among Trump supporters in Georgia, Florida and Washington DC, who believe President Trump’s unsubstantiated claims of voting fraud. One of them changed from a Democrat because she felt Trump treated immigrants better.

Plus women from both political sides come together to consider the impact of Kamala Harris as America’s first female Vice-President elect.
