What Next | Daily News and Analysis - A Shocking and Predictable Election

It’s been a strange election—Trump being shot at on stage; Biden dropping out—but also a very familiar one, with the same issues, same rhetoric, and same deadlocked, dysfunctional Congress waiting on the other side.


How long will the political Groundhog Day last—and what will it take to break this cycle?


Guests: Osita Nwanevu, contributing editor at the New Republic and columnist at The Guardian.

Short Wave - Elections Are One Big Math Problem

It's Election Day in the United States. Across the nation, millions of ballots are being cast. But what would happen if the rules of our electoral system were changed? Certain states are about to find out. This year, several places have alternative voting systems up for consideration on their ballots, and those systems could set an example for voting reform throughout the rest of the country. Short Wave producer Hannah Chinn and host Emily Kwong dive into three voting methods that are representative of those systems: Where they've been implemented, how they work, and what they might mean for elections in the future.

1A - ‘If You Can Keep It’: Foreign Interference In The 2024 Election

As this election season wraps up, we step away from what the Harris and Trump campaigns are doing in the final stretch.

Instead, we look to what's happening outside the U.S. that could impact the election. The federal government and technology companies like Microsoft are reporting that, once again, foreign actors are trying to interfere in the presidential election and down ballot races. That includes hostile countries like Russia and geopolitical competitors like China.

We discuss why countries want to interfere in this election, what they hope to gain, and what these operations typically look like.
