Overview of class

2024 is shaping up to be an election year unlike any other. From a potential rematch between Presidents Joe Biden and Donald Trump to the historic ouster and election of a House Speaker, this seminar will examine the fragile state of American politics. How did we get here? Is the political divide shrinking or growing? Is bipartisanship dead or alive?
