The Hard Shoulder

Newsmakers: Donald Trump

All this month the Hard Shoulder is looking back on 2024’s biggest moments in the news, and who were at the heart of it. You don't have to look back far to find one of the biggest stories of the year, and that was the election of the 47th President of the United States: Donald J. Trump. What led to that moment, and how has America settled into the prospect of four more years of Trump? Joining Kieran to look back is Martin Nutty and John Lee, hosts of the Irish Stew Podcast.
