Listen to the last episode:
On Tuesday 16th June 2015, Donald Trump, flanked by Melania, came down the escalator at Trump Tower and before a crowded atrium announced that he would be running for president. Famous for being a businessman and the host of The Apprentice, everybody wrote him off. This was just a gimmick, he couldn’t win. However, he quickly established himself as the favorite for the nomination. Radical, straight-talking, and entertaining, he energized large sections of the Republican base. He blew away arch-establishment figures like Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio, and the more radical anti-Washington candidate Ted Cruz. Despite being a polarising figure right from the start, he turned the party upside down and on Tuesday 19th July 2016, Donald Trump was declared the official Republican Presidential candidate with 14,000,000 votes, the most received by any candidate in Republican primary history. In the first episode of The Rest is Politics: US series on How Donald Trump Won the White House, listen as Anthony and Katty look at how he won the Republican nomination and changed the party forever.
