One Year Under President Biden: Is America Back?

A year ago, Donald Trump was voted out after four years of turbulent presidency and Joe Biden was elected as his successor. The Trump years were extraordinary – but is everything now “business as usual” again? What is the current political and social situation in the United States? And how does America under Biden's leadership see its role in the world? Together with moderator David Patrician, Wendy Brown (known from the podcast “Amerika übersetzt”) and political scientist Dr. Patrick Horst discuss these questions. Join the conversation!
