#13. Election 2024: Presidents, Pundits, and Political Violence

  • Summary

  • The 2024 presidential election in U.S. history is shaping up to be unlike any others… but is it? An incumbent president with health concerns. A former president seeking to regain the office he lost is the target of an assassination attempt. The biased media sets the narrative and stokes partisan fury. Not only are their historical parallels to these and other facets of the election, but there are historical forces that can help us understand what is going on, why the campaigns are conducted in certain ways, and also tell us something about who we are as American voters.
