Returning for its ninth year in August 2022 the program will focus on the all-important US mid-term elections…and will it be Biden vs Trump?
Hosted by John Barron and Chas Licciardello, Planet America will continue to deliver high-quality analysis and reporting on American politics on ABC NEWS most Friday nights.
John said:
“We’re excited to announce that for once it won’t be rushing back on air early in 2022. For the first time since the start of the Trump era it feels like we can take a bit of time off and work on other projects. Famous last words? Maybe.
“Unless Trump tries to destroy American democracy before then, we’ll be back in August 2022 to cover the US midterm elections, signalling the start of the 2024 election campaign.
“That’s when we’ll find out if Trump’s going to try and make a comeback or whether Biden is going to run. Unless Trump tries to destroy American democracy first…”
Until they return in mid-2022, both Barron and Licciardello will be taking a break and individually developing projects for the ABC.
