Intro

Our speaker is John Sides who is the Chair of the Political Science Department at Vanderbilt and the author of the book entitled The Bitter End: The 2020 Presidential Campaign and the Challenge to American Democracy. I want to find out from John what he learned by analyzing the data from the 2024 presidential election that explained Trump’s outperformance. I also want to hear what John thinks will be the key metrics to predict the outcome of the midterm elections.
