Prof Salvatore Babones discusses Trump vs Kamala, JD Vance, the 'Deep State' and the Southern border

In the latest episode of India's Global Impulse, I am joined by Professor Salvatore Babones(@SalvatoreBabones) Associate Professor at the University of Sydney. He is a quantitative comparative sociologist whose current research focuses on the political sociology of democracy. He is currently researching a book on Indian democracy.

In this episode, we discuss Biden being replaced by Kamala Harris, her prospects of winning, the selection of Ohio Senator JD Vance by Trump and the charge that Trump's foreign policy was 'isolationist'. We also discuss the concept of 'the Deep State' in the US, and whether it is a conspiracy theory or does it really exist, the outcomes of key foreign policy events such as the Russia-Ukraine war, the Israel-Hamas war and Taiwan. In the end, Professor Babones predicts the outcome of the House races and the Presidential elections. Join us for a comprehensive discussion on these critical issues with expert in-depth analysis from Professor Salvatore Babones.
