In 1918, in the midst of the pandemic of the so-called Spanish flu, there were

elections in the USA

.

The authorities prohibited the rallies, the statements in the radio studios and only allowed the dissemination of flying propaganda sheets in favor of the candidates.

Can you imagine if, as a result of the coronavirus, we could stop listening to the current electoral campaign and could only resort to written messages?

Welcome to

Stars and Stripes

, a podcast from EL MUNDO newspaper about the crucial elections in the United States, which are held on November 3 and which will pit Republican

Donald Trump

against Democrat

Joe Biden

.

I am

Alberto Rojas

, editor of the International section of El Mundo and this is the first of the three episodes of this podcast.

To begin, we are going to dive into the complexities of these elections that have already been held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November

59 times

throughout their democratic history.

Will Trump remain in the White House?

Will he have to give way to the former Obama vice president?

For this first episode, I count on the help of the two 'pablos'.

Pablo Pardo

is our

correspondent in Washington

and has a few electoral coverage on his resume, and

Pablo Scarpellini

writes for El Mundo

from Los Angeles

and also has a lot of experience in political ... and film coverage, which are often confused in Hollywood.

Vote by mail, key states, influence of the coronavirus, debates, polls, delegates ... we talked about all this in the first episode of Stars and Stripes.

The assembly is carried out by Francisco Pizzorno.
