No. 338 | November 15th, 2024

🇺🇲 2024

A few post-election interviews, focusing on my book, Party of the People: Inside the Multiracial Populist Coalition Remaking the GOP, and how it explained much of what we saw last Tuesday. 

  • The Ezra Klein Show: “The Book That Predicted the 2024 Election”

  • Somebody’s Gotta Win Podcast: “How the 2024 Election Killed Identity Politics.”

  • The Atlantic: “The Strategist Who Predicted Trump’s Multiracial Coalition.”

  • Reason’s Just Asking Questions: “Why Did Trump Win?”

  • The Liberal Patriot Podcast with Ruy Teixeira

And you can also catch me on a Niskanen Center/Liberal Patriot panel discussion at 3 p.m. eastern today.
