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

Continuing a tradition begun in 1984, and for every presidential election year since, renowned political scientist Michael Nelson and a team of scholars have put together a comprehensive, scholarly, and compelling account of the 2024 elections. This diverse cast of experts scrutinizes every stage of the presidential race as well as the concurrent congressional elections in all their aspects, from campaigning to media coverage to PACs and fundraising. This timely volume even analyzes the impact of the pending lawsuits against Donald Trump. 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 our entire political ecosystem.
