Description

Larry Sabato, one of the leading experts in American politics, brings together respected journalists and academics from across the political spectrum to examine every facet of the 2024 election, and what its development and outcome will mean for the nation moving forward. In frank, accessible prose, each author offers insight that goes beyond the headlines, and dives into the underlying forces and shifts that drove the election from its earliest developments to its dramatic conclusion.

Following Sabato's introductory analysis, the contributors provide a comprehensive review of everything in play during the 2024 elections, exploring the nominating processes, the unexpected handoff to Kamala Harris, conventions, and futures of both the Democratic and Republican parties, and what recent geographic and demographic electoral realignments might mean for America's politics beyond 2024.
