Breaking down the 2024 Election, with John Mark Hansen

Pundits are, at the end of the day, motivated by attention. Their takes need to provoke and intrigue -- which is why, when looking for insight on this election, I prefer to turn to a people who are motivated instead by the drive to understand the moment, and to embed it in its context: Academics.

I sat down with John Mark Hansen, a Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago. Hansen recently wrote a piece of post-election analysis that hit the mark for Project Syndicate, so I invited him onto TPC to continue the conversation.
