Professors Adam Myers, Matt Guardino, and Joe Cammarano, all of the PC political science department join host, William Hudson for a post-election analysis of the 2020 election. The focus of our discussion is the larger meaning of this election for the future of American politics.

What impact will the election make on the ability of our government to address critical problems like the COVID crisis, racial division, growing economic inequality, climate change, and deteriorating infrastructure? How will the parties react to shifts in voting among key constituencies and new cleavages between groups? What are the implications of the divided media environment and the explosion of misinformation? What will be the long-term effects of attempts to de-legitimize the outcome and electoral institutuions?
