The Unusual State of the Presidential Race

KEN MAYER is a professor of political science at UW-Madison and a frequent expert witness in voting rights, election administration, and redistricting litigation around the country in both state and federal courts, and has been active in supporting academic freedom and free speech rights at the UW and other universities. The 2024 presidential election has shaped up as almost all observers expected – a rematch between Biden and Trump.  Mayer will place this election within the framework of the goals of the presidential nomination process and explore different forecasts of the general election.  To put it another way:  How did we get here?  And where are we going?
