How We Made Songs and Satire About the US Election with AI Avatars

In a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, could election coverage be… different?

Trump’s ‘Mr. Fix-it’ approach struck a chord in surprising places—immigrant communities hit by inflation and a rising cost of living. In uncertain times, his promise to ‘fix it’ was a comforting one. For many, it was about finding a hero to trust. Mr. Fix-it Man—what a fitting title for the President-Elect! Alina, in her final # #JAM!, has a last laugh. #USElection2024 #immigration #Trump
Elon Musk had Mars in his eyes when he supported Trump? With two key launch windows approaching in the next years, Musk’s support could have been a calculated move to secure a friendly administration for his Mars ambitions. And while we can’t say for sure how much it swung the vote, Musk’s influence likely resonated with younger, undecided voters. Watch @einar unpack this cosmic twist. #Election2024 #ElonMusk #SpaceRace #AI #jam
Faces in fragments, moments stretched thin. Thousands of voters—each carrying hopes, fears, and questions—stand united in the suspense of election night. This AI art, made with Stable Diffusion, captures the tension, division, and unity in waiting. #Election2024 #AIArt #GuardianVisuals #WaitingForResults

In this Election Insight podcast, we look at two issues: the challenges faced by disabled voters in Pennsylvania, and those faced by journalists while covering the 2024 US election.

Not that we are calling the election this early, oh no! But we do have Ram Sengupta from New Delhi here with this question: what would a Trump White House mean for India and South Asia?

Listen to his quick-fire observations.

Could the U.S. use a lesson in democracy?

From Sierra Leone, Ahmed Nasralla wonders if West Africa’s election oversight could help smooth the U.S. election process. In this JAM! segment, he imagines ECOWAS bringing some calm and fair play to the American “gold standard” of democracy.
Catch Ahmed’s fresh take on Project L.

Today, polling in four locations faced bomb threats that temporarily disrupted voting. The FBI has since reported that none of the threats have been deemed credible, and voting continues as people return to cast their ballots.

Our latest BOP track, created with AI, captures the resilience of voters facing down disruptions to make their voices heard. Listen! Join us in honouring those who stand firm for democracy.

Hot Take from Rajiv Satyal, @funnyindian
 Gen X, born between ‘72 and ‘80, might just be the luckiest generation in U.S. history. Too young to remember the Iranian hostage crisis and out of high school for Columbine. The ’80s and ’90s are called “the end of history” for a reason. 



As Rajiv says, we’ve been riding a wave of calm compared to what’s hit other generations. Time to take some emotional withdrawals?

Iowa’s got us on the edge of our seats!

@einarthorsen breaks down the weekend shocker: an outlier poll has Kamala Harris possibly leading in Iowa—a state that’s been solid Trump territory. Is it a fluke or the start of a big shift?
