President Biden and former President Trump are not on the ballot this November but they are the two elephants in the room as voters go to the polls this year. Will Biden's fading poll numbers and Trump's Big Lie on the 2020 election and endorsements impact the midterms? This interactive class will be taking place during the middle of the midterm campaign and class will focus on House, Senate and Governor's races. From abortion to gun control to inflation to immigration to Ukraine we will discuss and analyze the key issues of the midterm election. The course will also focus on the role social media and mainstream media play and the effectiveness of candidate's paid advertising in getting their message out to voters.
