In this special episode, we look at how different groups of Americans voted in the US election and whether any conclusions can be drawn about why Biden won. Is this the first election that was decided on the basis of gender? How important was race, especially when considering the summer of protest, the Black Lives Matter movement and the killing of George Floyd? Is age a significant determinant of voting behaviour, or were senior citizens as appalled as their grandchildren at Trump’s handling of Covid 19? We also explore the complexities of class and income, along with voting along religious lines. The one startling realisation that I had, after watching 36 hours straight of John King on CNN, is that where a person lives in America really does matter.
