US election ‘being fought on personalities’ and ‘policy’

Former Australian ambassador to the US Joe Hockey says the 2024 US presidential election is “being fought on personalities” and “policy”. “This is an election that is not just being fought on personalities; it is being fought on policy,” Mr Hockey told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “Today it was dominated by immigration and about personal security, about the despair on the streets of major American cities … of the abuse of individuals … this is the stuff that resonates with America’s base.”
