&lt;h2 id="presidential-candidates"&gt;Presidential Candidates&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When it comes to the two major presidential candidates, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, their records are pretty dismal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Questions&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What’s your assessment of Harris and Trump?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What’s the ANCA’s guidance on how to vote for president?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are other candidates on the presidential ballot, like the Green Party’s Jill Stein, a perennial presence, sort of like a modern day Ralph Nader.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Aram Suren Hamparian - Armenian American and the 2024 US Presidential Elections | Ep 378 - Oct 27, 2024</title><link>https://podcasts.groong.org/watch/378-aram-suren-hamparian-armenia-americans-and-the-2024-us-presidential-elections-armenia-artsakh-nagorno-karabakh/</link><pubDate>Sun, 27 Oct 2024 01:00:00 +0400</pubDate><guid>https://podcasts.groong.org/watch/378-aram-suren-hamparian-armenia-americans-and-the-2024-us-presidential-elections-armenia-artsakh-nagorno-karabakh/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="episode-summary"&gt;Episode Summary&lt;/h2&gt;
