George Osborne: Under Trump the US has survived its greatest test since the Civil War

The Evening Standard’s editor-in-chief, George Osborne says the Republican party will never allow Donald Trump to run for the White House again. Speaking to our columnist Philip Collins, he says Mr Trump has been “unique,” testing the US constitution and the country’s democratic process to its limits. He predicts the GOP will “shut out” the tycoon if, as he is reported to be considering, Mr Trump attempts a presidential run in 2024. With Joe Biden’s inauguration due to take place under intense security in Washington, George and Phillip also discuss what might be in the much anticipated speech. They also look at what the new administration will do with two crises, Covid-19 and the economy, already ongoing in the States.
