This fall, as they have done every four years for more than 230 years, Americans will elect a president. Presidential elections are one of the more peculiar rituals in American politics, but they are enormously consequential. In this course we will track the 2020 presidential campaign in real time while exploring the history and politics of presidential elections and considering how presidential elections affect other aspects of American politics. The course will involve a combination of reading and writing with hands-on research and exploration projects.
