The storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021, still reverberates today. However, the presidency of Joe Biden, despite visible economic successes and strong employment figures, finds little resonance among voters.  Markus Lanz is traveling to the United States once more to find out how the country and its people are faring. Do they once again believe in the promises, lies, and conspiracy theories of Donald Trump, or are they, for the first time in their history, venturing down a new path with a woman president at the helm? Does the world’s oldest democracy still have a chance with Kamala Harris? Illegal immigration along the Mexican border is more than ever one of the dominant topics in the election campaign.  On a journey to the U.S.-Mexican border region, Markus Lanz and writer Anabel Münstermann meet refugees, aid workers, and residents on both sides of the border, experiencing firsthand what it truly means to leave one’s homeland to start a new life in the United States.
