The Parties Respond: State & Regional Dynamics in the Time of Trump II

Session Submission Type: Roundtable Session

Abstract

One year after Trump's victory over Kamala Harris and one year before the pivotal midterms, how have the parties responded in bellwether and battleground states such as Pennsylvania and New Hampshire? What policy matters, strategic imperatives, and regional dynamics are shaping or constraining the parties? What are their key considerations as they react, reset, or acquiesce amid the political and socioeconomic tumult of another Trump presidency?
