With growing concern about the president's cognitive ability, the Democrats face an excruciatingly difficult dilemma – whether to call for their leader, 81-year-old Joe Biden, to drop out of the race. Guardian US political correspondent Lauren Gambino tells Nour Haydar why the Democrats are torn over who should lead them to the next election and just how critical the coming weeks are for Joe Biden's campaign You can support the Guardian at theguardian.com/fullstorysupport

The US presidential election will be a rematch between two well known, yet deeply unpopular candidates. Joe Biden has won the Democratic nomination but the 81-year-old is the oldest president to ever seek re-election.

Guardian US senior political correspondent Lauren Gambino tells Nour Haydar how American voters are feeling about the choice that lies ahead You can support the Guardian at theguardian.com/fullstorysupport

Donald Trump has won the first in the nation primary election in New Hampshire, making it almost inevitable that we're poised for the first rematch in a general election since 1956. Despite coming in second in a two-person race, Nikki Haley celebrated at her election night event in Concord. So in our final episode of this special three-part series from New Hampshire, Jonathan Freedland speaks to Lauren Gambino and Semafor's David Weigel about whether or not Haley actually has reason to be positive. Or is she running on hope rather than reason?

Republicans will be wondering how polling got it so wrong. As John Fetterman wins that all-important Pennsylvania seat and Democrats keeps more seats in the House than expected, it is clear the former president doesn't have the pull analysts once thought. Donald Trump faces another problem, a party rival in Florida king, Ron DeSantis. Jonathan Freedland is joined by Lauren Gambino, Tara Setmayer and David Shor to discuss the ramifications for Washington and beyond of what the votes are telling us

And once again, that did not necessarily translate into electoral wins.  In an encore interview, our next guest says it’s time to value all votes equally … and why a national popular vote for President is the way to do it.   Laura Gambino The Guardian’s Laura Gambino joins Bill Press for a democratic primary debate preview.   Jim Hightower Should our natural resources have legal rights?

The redacted Mueller report is out and if you think it was a total exoneration, you aren't paying attention. Trump and his cronies have been downplaying and lying about the report for years. We've now seen it and, while he didn't directly break any laws, Mueller was clear: Congress has plenty of evidence to bring collusion and obstruction charges against Trump. It looks like 2020 is the best option to get Trump out of office.We talk to The Guardian's Lauren Gambino, Amanda Becker from Reuters and Rebecca Buckwalter-Poza from Prism!

A new story says that 25 different members of the Trump administration had their security clearances denied when they were hired. That didn't stop Trump. He overrode the national security experts and granted them jobs in the White House anyway. Multiple 2020 candidates spoke to the We The People summit in Washington DC this week. What did they have to say?We talk to Laura Barron-Lopez from Politico, Alexander Bolton from The Hill and Lauren Gambino from The Guardian

The Republican Senate will take a vote to either support or denounce Donald Trump's national emergency declaration. There have been a handful of Republicans who have voiced their concern over Trump's drastic measure, but will they actually walk the walk and vote against Trump? The field of 2020 candidates continues to materialize. There were a few potential Democratic candidates who said they will NOT run in 2020. What does that mean to the larger field? And does Bernie still have the energy that he had in 2016?Guest host Sabrina Siddiqui welcomes Lauren Gambino from The Guardian, Matt Gertz from Media Matters and Pema Levy from Mother Jones!

A new report by Axios shows just how much time Donald Trump spends in "executive time." It's the time he lays in bed and tweets, watches cable news and chats with various Fox News hosts on the phone. He has zero interest in running the country. Do Republicans care? Nope. Not at all. The calls for Ralph Northam's resignation grow louder the longer he stays in office. He has virtually no friends in Virginia politics and can't govern any longer. Time to go! We talk to Joe Cirincione from Ploughshares Fund, and we finish with The Guardian's Lauren Gambino and our old friend Karl Frisch!

Democrats won the House on Tuesday night. Donald Trump held an insane press conference on Wednesday morning and is DEFINITELY feeling the heat. He knows that he's about to be on defense for the first time in his presidency. He fought with reporters, he made false accusations, he said that his job will be easier now that Dems have the House. In other words, he's lost his mind. We talk to Lauren Gambino from The Guardian, Kyle Lierman from When We All Vote and USA Today's Eliza Collins!

Jeff Flake demanded an FBI investigation into Brett Kavanaugh at the very last minute, which means we will have to wait another week to find out if he will make it to the Supreme Court. What a wild weekend. Will the FBI have the scope to find out the real story? Is the WH trying to limit the investigation? It certainly looks like it. Depending on what they find, it could be enough for some Senators to change their minds on Kavanaugh. We talk to Lauren Gambino from The Guardian, Kaili Joy Gray from ShareBlue and Melanie Zanona from The Hill.Plus, a surprise visit from Ben Cohen from Ben and Jerry's!

Donald Trump spoke to Reuters to try and clarify statements that Rudy Giuliani made when he said that "truth isn't truth." Trump turned the whole Mueller investigation into a "he said-he said." Will that ultimately work? Don't count on it. We also size up the midterms and the Democrats' chances of taking back the House and the Senate, but also the role that women are playing in taking down Trump's agendaGuest host Peter Ogburn welcomes Lauren Gambino from the Guardian, Alayna Treene from Axios and Ella Nilsen from Vox.

My name is Andrew Denton. I’m a writer and broadcaster who lives in Sydney, Australia. In October 2015, I delivered a public address arguing for an assisted dying law in my country. This podcast is the end result of that process. In it, you will hear the voices of those who I spoke to for my research and learn the reasons that led me to argue for a new, and merciful, law. Kit and Andrew Denton — Photo: supplied Who am I to be talking to you about a subject as complex as assisted dying? It’s true, I have no expertise … other than the expertise too many of us share: I saw someone I love die badly. My dad, Kit, did not go gentle. Although clearly dying of heart failure, and obviously in great pain, he was assisted to die in the only way that Australia’s law then – and now – would allow: he was given increasing doses of morphine to settle the pain. But morphine never did settle the pain. Not his and not ours. The images of those final three days will never be erased. So, prompted by the death of my father, and based on a year of research, I’ve tried to seek out the truth about assisted dying. How does it work, who is it for … and is it safe? To do that, I’ve travelled to countries where laws to help people die already exist. And I’ve spoken to people on all sides of this debate: doctors, nurses, activists, opponents and, most particularly, the dying and their families. 'In Australia, we have no law to help the terminally or chronically ill die, which means that good people are being forced to die bad deaths. I want to find out why.' Andrew Denton 'It was definitely life-affirming. My father in that sense had a great death, if you can say something is a great death': Margaretta Pos talks about her father, Hugo (pictured, right), who suffered from terminal cancer and chose euthanasia at his home in the Netherlands — Photo: Michiel van Kempen (supplied) You may not know this, but Australia was the first place in the world to pass a law giving terminally ill people the legal right to be helped to die. That was in the Northern Territory in 1995. But, within a year, that law had been overturned by the newly-elected conservative Federal Government. Only four people had been able to use it. Were Australians happy to see the law gone? No. Every opinion poll taken in this country since, shows overwhelming public support – in excess of 70% – for assisted dying. But of the 27 attempts to pass a new law in the last 15 years, not one has come close to succeeding. It doesn’t make sense. Why can’t we help people who are in great pain and beyond medical help to die? Welcome to Better Off Dead. Please note: this podcast is not about suicide.
