Donors and the US election

Available for over a year

Campaign donations have been a key feature of the 2024 US election. Since Kamala Harris entered the presidential race huge donation figures have been widely reported in the media. One Republican donor tells us why he’s hoping for a Trump win. We examine where campaign donations are coming from and how decisive they might be in this election. Also in the programme, Rahul Tandon looks at the protests and general strike in Israel following the death of six hostages held by Hamas and speaks to the business owner encouraging his workers to strike. He’ll be looking back at Mexico’s President Lopez Obrador’s economic record as he prepares to leave office and discussing dynamic pricing and the best way to price concert tickets. Rahul is joined by senior freelance reporter Karen Pearcy and Allie Garfinkle, senior finance reporter at Fortune.
