Statistics show that the United States has a robust economy flush with opportunity; but poll after poll of the American public indicates discontent. The 2024 election will be framed by this metaphysical malaise, with Donald Trump and his MAGA movement finding strength in the community of alienated voters. Now Kamala Harris must also secure a narrative which not only addresses the country’s emotional burden, but helps her to form a loyal community of her own.

For the second episode of ECFR’s Swamp Chronicles series, Aslı Aydıntaşbaş and Jeremy Shapiro welcome Connecticut senator Chris Murphy to discuss America’s ‘metaphysical’ crisis and the post-neoliberal framing of the 2024 election. What is the impact of the loneliness epidemic on US society? How is post-neoliberalism shaping the Harris-Walz agenda? And what might a post-neoliberal path mean for Europe?

Music recorded and produced by Kingston Lindner
