Description

This time talking to the great Margaret Coker, editor in chief at the nonprofit and independent news organization ‚The Current‘, who has covered stories from 32 countries on four continents during her two-decade career in journalism. In 2017 she has led a team of Wall Street Journal reporters named as finalists for the Pulitzer Prize in International Reporting.



We spoke about the events of January 6, which was supposed to be the day that Joe Biden became the certified winner of the 2020 presidential election, but instead will now be known as the day that a violent mob stormed the U.S. Capitol. Margaret sheds light on the possible effects and consequences for American democracy overall and what it might mean for the Republican Party and Trumpism going forward.
