Kerry Haynie: Biden Won, Now What? Developments and Trends in U.S. Politics

Thursday, December 09, 2021, 7 p.m.

Lecture via YouTube Livestream

The election of Joseph R. Biden as the 46th President of the United States came after arguably the most tumultuous and disruptive presidency in U.S. history. Political observers consider Donald Trump and his administration to be an aberration, and the Biden Administration to be a return to normalcy. This talk will examine the premise of these observations by examining some trends that contributed to Trump's election, as well as some trends that are emerging today.
