Description
A fascinating evening class with Gary Younge, the Guardian’s editor-at-large, that will improve your understanding of US politics, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton ahead of the election this November
There’s no doubt about it – this is one of the most exciting US elections in history. This year’s fight for the White House has been like no other; Clinton has already made history as the first female candidate for a major US party whilst Trump has given us one campaign blunder after another. There are only a few weeks to go until election day and anything can happen; in fact “up until this point almost anything has happened.”
During this evening masterclass, the Guardian’s editor-at-large, Gary Younge, will discuss the key things you need to know about the upcoming election. You’ll receive an overview of the electoral landscape and the key issues at stake. Plus, you’ll deepen your understanding of the two contenders for the White House – Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump.
At the time of the masterclass, Gary will be gearing up for a two month trip in the US to cover the election. Don’t miss out on this fascinating class at the Guardian, book your place now and spend the evening learning how things are likely to play out on November 7 2016 – and why.
