In this episode of 'Americans by Choice,' we, Miguel and David, dive into the latest shifts in UK politics and what they might mean for the US. We look back at Brexit and its aftermath and discuss the Labour Party's big comeback. We move the conversation to the US political scene, talking about President Biden's re-election chances, internal squabbles within the Democratic Party, and how Trump's playing it cool lately. We also touch on historical elections, controversial Supreme Court rulings, and what all this means for the future. It's a mix of political analysis and our own, sometimes heated, debate about where things are headed. Join us for a lively conversation with two old friends who just can't get enough of talking politics!
