Summary

  • Clinton says in Netflix’s new trailer that the Electoral College is “an abomination,” reviving her long-running attack on the system ahead of the five-part series’ release Wednesday.
  • The remark is tied directly to her 2016 loss to Donald Trump, when she won the popular vote but lost the presidency after Trump carried key swing states.
  • Director Brian Knappenberger told Variety Clinton rarely speaks candidly about election night and said the series sought her perspective as one of only 5 people to lose after winning the popular vote.
  • The American Experiment marks 250 years of U.S. independence and features interviews with figures including Kamala Harris, Mike Pence, Al Gore, Ted Cruz and Nancy Pelosi.
