A timely analysis of the historic 2024 elections from some of the leading minds in US political science

The political scientist Michael Nelson and a team of scholars offer here a comprehensive, scholarly, and compelling account of the transformative 2024 elections and their unprecedented immediate aftermath. This diverse cast of experts scrutinizes every stage of the presidential race as well as the concurrent congressional elections in all aspects, from campaigning to media coverage to PACs and fundraising. Supplemented by critical data gathered from exit polling and voting results from primaries, caucuses, and the general election, this volume weighs the consequences of the 2024 elections not only for the presidency but for Congress and the entire U.S. political ecosystem.
