In the aftermath of the debacle that was the first Presidential Debate of 2020, our focus shifts to the developing story involving President Donald Trump's contracting COVID-19, and what that means as America, and the rest of the world, continue to battle the current pandemic.
In the aftermath of the first Presidential Debate of 2020, we examine the big takeaways, as well as the reaction from pundits, most of whom called it a disgraceful moment for our nation. However, in a year like 2020, even a debacle the likes of the recent debate would soon be overshadowed by news that President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump had contracted COVID-19. Some have called this an "October Surprise," and although the President appears to be on a fast road to recovery, we weigh in on the implications of this most recent development in the ongoing battle against the most deadly pandemic of our generation.

As the first Presidential Debate of 2020 fast approaches, we look at civil unrest in America as the polls continue to show a wide gap between candidates Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
Public outcry and civil unrest have erupted in Louisville, Kentucky following an announcement by the Attorney General there stating that no charges will be brought against police officers in the shooting of Breonna Taylor. AS protests and riots ensued, all eyes have shifted to Amy Coney Barrett, Donald Trump's nominee to fill the Supreme Court Seat of the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Meanwhile, as the first of the 2020 Presidential Debates is quickly approaching, pundits are on the lookout for what the outcome might be, and what that could mean for the American election that is now just weeks away. We examine all of this, and more on this week's Middle Theory podcast.

Following the passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, questions about her successor add a new layer of complexity to the heated 2020 Election.
This week, the FBI makes a statement on Antifa, while the DOJ designates New York an "anarchistic" zone... meanwhile, as the polls continue to show Joe Biden leading Donald Trump, the 2020 election has now become even more complex with the passing of Supreme Court Justice and American Icon Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
President Trump says he will fill the seat, while Democrats vow to retaliate if he does... at this very critical stage in the 2020 election and, arguably, in history, we wade into this heated fray and look at the possible outcomes, as well as Trump's two leading female nominees, on this edition of Middle Theory.

Following confirmation of the poisoning of Russian opposition figure and anti-corruption activist Alexei Navalny, we look at international dynamics on the eve of the Russian elections.
This week, as we are just 50 days away from the forthcoming U.S. election, it's all eyes on Russia in the aftermath of the poisoning of Russian opposition figure and anti-corruption activist Alexei Navalny. It was confirmed by experts in Germany, France, and other countries that Navalny was poisoned using a Cold War era toxin called Novichok. Russia denies any culpability in the incident, as Navalny remains in Germany under intensive care.
We examine this incident and its implications for international politics, along with an Election Update and ongoing coverage of the wildfires and storm season in the U.S. on this week's edition of Middle Theory.

This week in addition to election news, we examine the devastating wildfires in California, and how record temperatures are leading to widespread power shortages.
As the chaos of 2020 continues, Labor Day weekend was full of surprises for sports fans, with an upset win at the legendary Kentucky Derby, and an upset tennis player at the U.S. Open following his disqualification. Then getting to our Election Update, we analyze what a variety of polls show about President Donald Trump's popularity, and what the current spread in percentages among likely voters is between him and his Democratic challenger, Joe Biden. Meanwhile, sound bites of both of the presidential contenders show that they appear to have a similar low opinion of each other... elsewhere, more naked protests are underway as social unrest spreads to Rochester, following the death of a black man after he was restrained by police.
However, with the summer heat in full swing and record temperatures being logged in states like California, we turn our attention to the devastating wildfires occurring in that state, asking what their more widespread effects will be. Although it is hard to argue that climate is a significant contributor to this growing problem, we also ask why the modern state of climate science is such a politically divisive issue, and whether it can't be seen as a bipartisan concern.
