Within less than two weeks, the world has watched as former President Donald Trump was almost assassinated, President Joe Biden announced he is stepping out of the race, and Vice President Kamala Harris has emerged as the leading choice for the Democratic Party nominee. 

From within the U.S., it feels like a tumultuous time in American politics. But how is the world, and specifically the U.K., viewing \\u201cthe land of the free and home of the brave\\u201d right now? 

The U.K. is \\u201cvery concerned\\u201d by recent events in America, Matthew Goodwin, a professor of politics and international relations at the University of Kent and a senior fellow at the Legatum Institute, says. 

\\u201cThe attempted assassination of Donald Trump was seen as a symbol of a country that is very divided and polarized,\\u201d according to Goodwin. \\u201cThere\'s an awareness that the rhetoric has become extreme, not just, around the former president, but also on the left of American politics.\\u201d 

Goodwin joins \\u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\\u201d to discuss European\\u2019s views of America\\u2019s fraught election cycle, and to discuss the results of the U.K. recent election that resulted in the worst-ever election defeat for Britain\\u2019s Conservative Party.
