This week on Race to the White House, Brendon O’Connor, Tom Switzer and Emma Lancaster digest the news that Donald Trump will be the 45th President of the United States of America.

They discuss Trump’s path to victory, what a Trump presidency might look like and who will be on Team Trump as the campaign transitions from mobilising the vote into governing the nation.

They also consider whether the new leader of the free world will be getting an invitation “down under”, question how the pollsters got it so wrong and how the world is going to fare when Trump is handed the keys to the White House in 2017.
