After the Republicans' defeat in the US midterm elections, US President Trump and the Republicans in Congress have drawn the first personnel consequences: Hardliner Stephen Miller replaces Trump's confidante Susie Wiles as chief of staff.

“Colleagues of his always call him a war-time chief of staff. So, he will now appear with a clear edge,” says co-host Christian Lammert, professor of North American political systems at the Free University of Berlin. And the new parliamentary group leader in the House of Representatives will be Trump confidant Jim Jordan.

The hosts also look at the Nvidia espionage affair and the political implications, the Russia/Ukraine talks and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth after impeachment proceedings against him were initially thrown out.

This podcast episode was recorded on Thursday at 10am. The hosts have therefore not yet been able to take into account the resignation that Nvidia boss Jensen Huang announced on Thursday afternoon.
