November 07, 2020 +1: US Election 2020 - "A republic if you can keep it"
As the UK has gone into a second national lockdown, Rob and I are recording remotely and as a test of the new setup, we talked about the ongoing election in America. This was recorded Friday 6th November while the current state of the presidential race is disputed based on whether Arizona should be called for Biden (Fox News and The Associated Press have called it while other outlets say it's still too close).
