Summary
Former First Lady Jill Biden says she wants to “set the record straight” on how she felt about her husband’s health during that infamous debate that ended his 2024 presidential bid. Why is she speaking out now, and what does it mean for the Democrats, particularly in the run up to this November’s midterm elections? In this episode of Americast we go under the radar, looking at stories away from the main news headlines. As well as the Bidens, we also discuss why this World Cup might be the best PR machine for Donald Trump’s America. Social media videos show international fans united in their positive experiences of the States - but is everything as good as it seems online? And the president wants to give America’s top legal job to his former personal lawyer. Trump says that Todd Blanche kept him ‘out of jail for years’ and is doing a great job as interim leader. But not everyone is complimentary. Who are the Republicans who could block him becoming Attorney General?
