PSU Prof. John Lappie will leverage his knowledge in political science to explore potential scenarios for the unfolding of the 2024 election, from a non-partisan lens.
The 2024 Republican primary is shaping up to be one of the wilder ones in US history, with one candidate, a defeated former president, currently commanding most of the vote, but numerous challengers, including his own former vice-president. For all the drama in the Republican primary, it is highly likely that the general election will feature the same candidates as in 2020, though with the added and unprecedented wrinkle that one of the candidates is facing four separate trials, while the incumbent president faces threats of impeachment. Prof. John Lappie will use his political science expertise to analyze these events and discuss how the 2024 election could play out.
