  • Donald Trump will be the next US President. From Washington, Emily Tamkin reflects on an election that felt like a shock to the system – even if the result is not wildly different to what we anticipated at the start of the year. So, what happened? And where did the Democrats' campaign to prevent Trump 2.0 go astray? From Cairo and London, Rohan Venkat and Tom Hamilton give the international perspective on how Trump's return will impact geopolitics and macroeconomics, not to mention the fragile state of democracies.

  • With the US election only a few weeks away, the Political Cyclists gather to discuss how Kamala Harris and the Democratic machine are targeting former Republican voters. Can this make an impact?

  • On this week's episode of The Political Cycle, Rohan Venkat, Emily Tamkin and Tom Hamilton gather to take a 'vibes check' on their respective nations. Are the narratives emerging – that Kamala Harris has blown it, that Narendra Modi is in crisis, that Keir Starmer is another lame duck PM – matching reality? We also touch base with the results of the Haraya assembly elections and look at where they fit into the picture, as well as polling oscillations in the US, and staffing nightmares in Downing Street.

  • In an historic week for relations in the Middle-East, which saw Israel launch a ground invasion of Lebanon and Iran fire hundreds of missile towards the Israeli capital, The Political Cyclists gather to discuss the impact that war in the region is having on the American election. The US is widely seen as the most influential foreign policy actor in this conflict (outside of the immediate protagonists) and so the Harris vs Trump contest has taken on added importance. Emily Tamkin reports back from a fraught DC, while Rohan Venkat and Tom Hamilton probe the international perspective.

  • This week we're turning our attention (with Tom off to Liverpool for the Labour party's first conference in power) to Sri Lanka. Raisa Wickrematunge, deputy editor of Himal Southasian magazine, joins Rohan and Emily to discuss this month's election and how Anura Kumara Dissanayake (aka AKD) has re-aligned Sir Lanka's political compass. What has happened to the United National Party and the Sri Lanka Freedom Party to allow this outsider to romp home? And what should global politics watchers make of his party, Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna, whose symbol is a hammer and sickle? For this, and more, hop on the Political Cycle as we take a trip to South Asia.

  • Last week, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump took to the stage for the first – and, increasingly likely, the only – Presidential debate. In it, Trump propounded a conspiracy theory about Haitian migrants eating the pets of residents in Springfield, Ohio. What was going on there? And why does the Trump campaign want to keep talking about immigration in this campaign? Emily Tamkin gives the full debate low-down, while Tom Hamilton and Rohan Venkat look at the similarities across Europe and Asia.

  • On today's episode of The Political Cycle, with Emily Tamkin away and American politics on hold until last night's debate (more on that next week), we've decided to peddle over to France where Emmanuel Macron has named Michel Barnier as his new Prime Minister. Barnier is well known to British audiences as the EU's chief negotiator on Brexit, but what does his appointment as PM mean for the political instability in France? To discuss this, Rohan Venkat and Tom Hamilton are joined from Washington DC by Tara Varma, Visiting Fellow at The Brookings Institution.

  • This week, for the first time since the Second World War, elections in Germany provided significant victories for the far-right. In Thuringia, candidate Björn Höcke of the AfD (Alternative für Deutschland) hailed an "historic victory". But what does this mean for German and European politics? And what broader trends might we look at in terms of increasing far-right success at the ballot box? To discuss this – and with Tom Hamilton on holiday – the Cyclists are joined from Berlin by Rachel Rizzo, Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council.

  • In the weeks since the announcement that Joe Biden would no longer be the Democratic candidate in the 2024 Presidential election, the narrative has shifted from one of senile intransigence to graceful benevolence. As Biden appeared – tearful – on-stage at the DNC, Emily Tamkin asks whether the reframing of this decision to hand the baton to Kamala Harris could be a masterstroke? And could it also, she asks Rohan Venkat, offer Prime Minister Narendra Modi a prototype for how to secure your legacy when the time comes?

  • Recent polling shows that the Democrat's shiny new candidate – Kamala Harris – is ahead in almost all the swing states. Meanwhile, the British far-right, who seemed so potent last week, have bee repelled by anti-fascist campaigners and the criminal justice system. Is the tide beginning to turn in favour of reasoned debate? Emily Tamkin and Tom Hamilton report back, while Rohan Venkat, back from vacation, picks up on the turbulence in Bangladesh.

  • They call it 'midsummer madness', the fit of rash and often violent behaviour that seems to strike in the long, hot days. In the UK, right-wing thuggery has descended on a number of cities following the tragic murder of three young girls. What is motivating these riots? And who is stoking the flames of this racially-motivated disorder? Tom Hamilton reports back from a broiling, roiling London. Meanwhile, on the campaign trail in the US, Emily Tamkin talks us through Kamala Harris's VP pick: Tim Walz. Who is he? And what will he bring to the Harris campaign?

  • When secret service agents ushered Donald Trump offstage at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, there was much confusion as to what had actually happened. The events, as they came to light over the next few hours, reshaped the narrative of the election, with Trump surviving a very real assassination attempt. Reshaped, sure, but has it changed the course of the election? Emily Tamkin reports on the fallout, as the RNC gathers in Milwaukee and Trump picks marine/lawyer/venture capitalist/author/politician JD Vance as his Vice-President pick. Tom Hamilton and Rohan Venkat contribute thoughts on the ways that political violence has changed the course of democratic moments in both the UK and India.

  • A new day has dawned in the UK, with Keir Starmer's Labour romping to a landslide victory in the General Election, ending 14 years of Tory rule. Tom Hamilton – himself a former Labour advisor – talks Emily Tamkin and Rohan Venkat through the results, the rise of Reform, and the other big stories of the night. Did the landslide result paper over some cracks in the Labour party's performance? And what can the government do now, with a British state that is in desperate need of some stimulation...

  • It's the morning after the night before (well, a few nights before) and America is still reeling from the first Presidential debate. The earliest TV debate in history ended in renewed fears about Joe Biden's competence to continue as US President – let alone as the Democrat candidate. Emily Tamkin leads us through the fallout to both the debate and the Supreme Court's verdict on Donald Trump's partial immunity from prosecution, while Tom Hamilton and Rohan Venkat marvel at the eccentricity of American politics. (Oh and then there's the small matter of the UK election this week, but we'll largely come to that next time out with Tom).

  • On this week's episode of The Election Tricycle we're talking to Art Goldhammer to talk about what's going on in France's parliamentary elections. Was Macron "totally insane" to call this surprise election? Who, on both the Left and the Right, is a danger to the President? How has the far-Right – particularly the National Rally – evolved over time? And how is Emmanuel Macron personally rated amongst the French public?

  • Rohan takes us to the Lok Sabha – the lower house of the Indian parliament – to look at how the fallout from the general election is impacting the vote there. A new Speaker will be elected at the end of June, but will the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) secure the post? In London, Tom talks us through the impact that Nigel Farage and his Reform party is having in reshaping the landscape of the British Right, while, in the US, Emily looks at how – and why – the Right gets away with characterising its politics as "common sense".
