ElectionLine’s View From Abroad: BAFTA-Winning Channel 4 News Anchor Matt Frei On Why The U.S. Republic Is “On The Line” In Vote Fueled By Fear
Channel 4 News anchor Matt Frei says the U.S. republic is "on the line" as Joe Biden and Donald Trump do battle for the White House.
Entrenched support for both candidates is symbolic of a tribalism in U.S. life that means “a lot of Americans just want to be reassured in what they already believe.” It’s a “zero-sum game,” Frei says, in which “the other guy’s victory is my defeat.” The presenter, who doubles as Channel 4 News’ Europe editor, is planning to travel to the U.S. this year to shoot the film with Passion Pictures, the producer behind Netflix’s Wham! Frei thinks that Trump, campaigning from the courtroom and without any of the restraining qualities of his daughter Ivanka, could be restored to the White House amid civil unrest, or be the architect of his own downfall.
