CNN correspondent Frederik Pleitgen speaks with Sandra Maischberger about the current developments in the US election campaign. Pleitgen currently sees many advantages for Kamala Harris, but stresses that unforeseen events up to the election could cause "the wind to change again very quickly". 00:00 Intro & welcome 00:20 Euphoria among the Democrats - will the mood continue? 03:40 How successful is Donald Trump's strategy? 06:00 What does the nomination of Kamala Harris mean for the Republicans? 08:50 Is Trump a threat to American democracy? 10:35 On the current situation in Ukraine Since the nomination of Kamala Harris, Trump has lost his relaxed attitude and has "got a bit shaky", says Pleitgen. In addition, Trump's vice presidential candidate JD Vance "quickly lost his shine" due to his highly conservative statements, which further damaged his party. Shortly after the assassination attempt on him, Donald Trump initially cut a very good figure, but with the nomination of Kamala Harris, the Democrats took the wind out of the Republicans' sails: "The Democrats then started to get fired up about finally having a candidate they could identify with," said Pleitgen. On the question of whether democracy could be endangered by another term for Donald Trump, Pleitgen explained that there are enough limits built into American democracy to prevent it from turning into a dictatorship, including term limits for presidents. However, Donald Trump has "now made the Republican Party his party," whose members "are all in line." The power that Trump has over his own supporters could be dangerous. ---- The entire broadcast in the ARD media library: https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/mai...
