Stuart Norval welcomes France 24 International Affairs Editor Philip Turle and Hind Ziane, Geopolitical analyst and founder / CEO of Genpo. "In 1974, we had the Watergate babies.
Now we have the Iran War babies," remarks Ziane with this striking historical analogy. Just as the Watergate scandal helped propel a new generation of Democratic lawmakers into Congress in 1974, Zian argues that public disillusionment with the Iran war, mounting economic pressures and dissatisfaction with Donald Trump's leadership may now be reshaping the American political landscape.
Yet Turle reminds us, "They're not voting for Democrats because they love the Democrats. They're voting for the Democrats because they don't like Donald Trump."
