Good Night and Good Luck

Welcome to the eight episode of the second season of Good Night and Good Luck. Our debrief of the 2024 US Elections continues with a deep focus on both current and dated topics related not only to the Presidential race won by Donald Trump over Kamala Harris. As the episode title states, in our round table we tried to look back in order to look forward, including a comparison between Trump’s economic policies (2016 vs 2024), the situation over the war in Ukraine, Elon Musk’s involvement in the future Trump’s administration, Kamala Harris’ future and more.
