Americast – Americanswers…on 5 Live! Could Andrew answer Epstein questions before Congress?
Available for more than a year
Sarah, Anthony and Marianna join Matt Chorley on 5 Live to answer your questions. The team examines the week-long elections in New York, Virginia and New Jersey, how recent developments with the royal family may affect the release of the Epstein files in the US, and whether the president is serious about testing a nuclear weapon for the first time since the ’90s. Additionally, Democratic front-runner Zohran Mamdani appears to be the favorite in this week’s New York City mayoral election. So how radical is Mamdani’s politics and will she be received differently on the UK political scene? And we’re looking at new polls that show Trump’s popularity with voters is declining in many areas.
