While I am not completely aware of the details, Trump’s Ukraine scandal is the most influential news story of 2019. The way he explicitly abused presidential power to try and gain information about a political opponent is eerily reminiscent of Watergate; except he will not resign.

The Amazon Fire and Dayton Shooting.

Oh jeez, there were so many. I feel like the top five are: Trump/Ukraine business and the impeachment probe, Epstein, the Amazon fires, the many mass shootings that occurred, and everything happening with the 2020 Democratic field. I also think there was a lot of focus on the climate crisis this year.
