Will social media decide the next U.S. President?

With less than three weeks until polling day, the upcoming U.S. election has become one of the most complex and anticipated political races in modern history. For many young Americans, Trump and Harris' campaigns have played out away from traditional media. Instead, they're being reached through short-form video content, their favourite podcasts, celebrity endorsements, memes and social media algorithms. In today's deep dive we'll explore how Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have attempted to engage young voters, and if it's working.

Hosts: Sam Koslowski and Emma Gillespie
Producer: Orla Maher
