Presidential Elections & The State of Our Democracy

The 2024 presidential race has proved profoundly unconventional. From Trump’s felony convictions, to controversial Supreme Court rulings, an attempted assassination, and Biden’s last-minute withdrawal from the ticket, the journey to the November election has been tumultuous. Yet, amid these unprecedented events lies a chance to reflect on how we got here. The race has been impacted by a variety of political forces that are not normally top-of-mind for the American public, but provide a chance for us to consider how our institutions have shaped this election, and how that knowledge can shape future reform efforts.
