America turns its back on Trump

Donald Trump has suffered an extraordinary electoral defeat, with Democrats making gains far beyond expectations. But is this a rejection of Trump's racism, corruption and attacks on democracy, or have voters simply had enough of the cost of living? James hears from callers in Britain and America as he struggles to balance joy at the result with concern about what comes next. Plus, LBC's America correspondent Simon Marks explains the scale of the Democratic victory, what it means for Trump's remaining presidency and why some of the powerful figures who backed him could now face serious scrutiny.
