This is our simple(ish) guide to how America picks its president.

In November 2024, America will go to the polls to pick the next President of the United States. At the moment it looks like we鈥檒l see a 2020 rematch, Republican Donald Trump vs Democrat Joe Biden. But how do US elections actually work? They can be quite complicated, the candidate with the most votes doesn鈥檛 always win. In this episode, we explain things like the electoral college, Super PACs and find out just how much running a campaign ad for the most powerful job on earth can cost.

大象传媒 reporter Sam Cabral joins us from Washington and takes us through the process. And business reporter Erin Delmore checks in from New York to talk about the money.
