Just a year ago, the 2024 presidential campaign was shaping up to be a slightly dull affair. Instead, the last 12 months turned out to be one of the most eventful, controversial and unpredictable in US political history.

In January, Donald Trump will be sworn in for his second term as president, marking the start of a new chapter in Washington DC. So, before that, 麻豆社 chief presenters Caitr铆ona Perry and Sumi Somaskanda take a moment to reflect on covering a momentous year in US politics.
