Inside Political Science #017 – The Best Political Comeback Ever? A Poll-Defying Victory
We have a new president, and it happened quicker and more decisively than anyone expected. Kirby and Todd react to Donald Trump’s victory, calling it one of the best political comebacks in history. They give kudos to his campaign for choosing strategies that seemed odd on the surface but paid off in a big way. They discuss what the Harris campaign may be second-guessing and if the results would have been different if Biden dropped out earlier. Plus, can anyone be the Democrat version of Trump in the 2028 cycle, are podcasts and social media replacing the political value of a “60 Minutes” appearance, why were the polls so off and why are so many incumbent parties around the world losing this year? And why did the Democrats lose when they had more money? Finally, Kirby and Todd look ahead, discussing why governing is harder than campaigning and how Trump might handle ‘revenge,’ foreign affairs, and the economy.
