Jan-Werner Müller: Populism in the U.S. Elections - What’s New About the New American Right?

Wednesday, October 02, 2024, 7 p.m.

"Think back to late June and early July. The French far right was favored to win a snap parliamentary election. Trumpist judges in the United States were conveniently resolving the legal woes of the former president, who seemed to be gliding to victory after President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance. And while Britain was getting a Labor government, a new anti-immigration party led by the chief Brexiteer, Nigel Farage, had made unprecedented gains. Faced with it all, pundits warned that a wave of populist, 'anti-incumbency' rage was sweeping across the world’s democracies." - Jan-Werner Müller, Project Syndicate, August 16, 2024

Jan-Werner Müller is in Munich the day after the U.S. vice presidential candidates, Senator J.D. Vance and Governor Tim Walz, face off, to talk about the upcoming U.S. Presidential Elections and to discuss the state of our politics and the problems with our political parties, both in Europe and in the run-up to the U.S. elections on November 5th. We'll unpack the debate as well as the workable strategies that Prof. Mueller proposes.
