While the final results remained unknown during the webcast, Schrieberg spoke about wider US political trends and looked ahead to the next four years, regardless of whether Joe Biden secures a victory or Donald Trump is reelected.

Schrieberg, a journalist and media executive, answered viewer questions on the future of the Republican and Democrat parties, the problems with opinion polling, political protests and disturbances in the US, and Trump’s allegations of (non-existent) postal ballot fraud. He also commented on the potential impact of a Biden win or Trump reelection on EU-US relations, the UK’s ‘special relationship’ with the US and Washington’s policy towards Beijing.
