America's Last Hope

Immigration was the focal point of Donald Trump’s fervent discourse on stage during an assassination attempt that left him blood-streaked yet unyielding. This issue remains one of the pivotal forces fracturing the United States, alongside economic instability, reproductive rights, and racial tensions. As the nation braces for the November presidential election, journalist Mark Willacy embarks on an odyssey across America, crafting a Four Corners special. The campaign trail has already unveiled dramatic twists, notably with President Joe Biden stepping down from the presidential race. In the second segment, Four Corners delves into critical issues within the battleground states, venturing into Arizona's untamed southern desert, the epicenter of the immigration turmoil where Trump aims to "halt the invasion" at the Mexican border. Additionally, the segment covers an abortion clinic besieged by daily protestors. Willacy’s journey takes him to Georgia, where political schisms have emerged within Black communities that were once monolithic in their political voice. He also infiltrates the Trump phenomenon, attending one of the former president’s rallies, capturing the fervor of supporters unwavering in their conviction that Trump will restore America's grandeur.
