The view of the US midterms from the campaign trail

We’re going on the campaign trail on today’s episode for an up-close look at the US midterm elections that are finding Americans deeply polarized. Petros Kasfikis, the Washington DC correspondent for the Athens News Agency and Greece’s Mega TV, who has been on the road covering key races in Pennsylvania and New Hampshire where he is following Representative Chris Pappas’s re-election campaign, joined Thanos Davelis on election day to give us the view from the campaign trail. We break down the overall climate among voters and look at what’s at stake for key Hellenic issues and broader US foreign policy as well. Our discussion took place before the polls closed on Tuesday.
