Justin gets grilled by the Americasters on why he didn’t correct an interviewee who referred to Donald Trump as “President”... And why he refers to the world wide HQ of Americast as being in “London, England”.

He and Sarah also tackle precinct issues like how Trump and Keir Starmer would interact if elected this year, and whether he could run for a third term, and how a President builds his cabinet. We also hear from a caller who wants to know what happened to the political centre ground in the United States.

HOSTS: Sarah Smith, North America editorJustin Webb, Radio 4 presenter

Americast

In one of its most pivotal decisions of the year, the top US court has ruled that American presidents can have absolute immunity for ‘official’ acts. But what does that mean exactly? How far could the leader of the free world push the definition of a presidential duty? Sarah and Anthony have been combing through the opinion, and call in constitutional law expert Alison LaCroix to help them understand all the details - from the practical to the farcical. Does the ruling impact Donald Trump’s other legal cases? Could Joe Biden order Trump’s assassination and claim immunity?Elsewhere in the world of politics, some Democrats have started to publicly call for Biden to withdraw from the 2024 race. Plus, Sarah sat down with former Trump strategist Steve Bannon, on plans to contest the 2024 presidential election if the Democrats win.GUESTS:Alison LaCroix, Constitutional law expert and professorSteve Bannon, former strategist for Donald TrumpHOSTS:Sarah Smith, North America EditorAnthony Zurcher, North America CorrespondentGET IN TOUCH:* Join our online community: https://discord.gg/qSrxqNcmRB* Send us a message or voice note via WhatsApp to +44 330 123 9480* Email Americast@bbc.co.uk* Or use #AmericastUS Election Unspun: Sign up for Anthony’s new BBC newsletter: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-68093155This episode was made by Purvee Pattni, Catherine Fusillo, Claire Betzer, and Rufus Gray.
