Americanswers! Project 2025 and Biden’s mental capacity


Listen Later

Sarah Smith is reunited with the Zurch! She’s back from her holiday, and returns to a very full inbox of Ameriquestions to answer.

They include queries on whether the U.S. would ever elect a President who isn’t a Christian, and why politicians “approve this message” at their end of their campaign adverts?

And we speak to Americaster Joanna, who wants to know whether Americans harbour desires for their own monarchy.

HOSTS:

- Sarah Smith, North America editor

- Anthony Zurcher, North America Correspondent
