This episode includes a discussion with Ambassador Derek Shearer.  Our latest US election series speaker, a longstanding Democrat, former Clinton administration figure, former U.S. Ambassador to Denmark, professor in international affairs and diplomacy at Occidental College in California, and long time friend to New Zealand.During the discussion Derek answers the question: why is the 2020 presidential election the most important of the century?This is an edited down version of a webinar moderated by NZUS Council Chair, Leon Grice. You can find the full video discussion on our YouTube account here: https://lnkd.in/g6HwtQySome highlights from the discussion:  You can not have a discussion about US politics without talking about the role of race and culture and the impact that this will have on these elections. Derek talks about the possibility of a new civil rights movement emerging as recent events have finally landed and registered with white mainstream America.  The state of the Democratic Party campaign team and potential Biden administration figures. Derek says the party has never been more united, and mobilised by the common purpose of defeating Trump, and willing to make compromises.  A Biden administration's approach to foreign affairs, diplomacy, international engagement, and soft power.  And finally why he will be watching the debates closely and the impact that these might have on early voting.
