Lecture Info:
The midterm elections are upon us, and the poll chasers are prognosticating. Which way will the political winds blow? Which issues will be pivotal? What does this mean for the 2024 presidential election cycle? All of this has implications. Come join Dartmouth alum Harry Enten ’11, political journalist for CNN, live from NYC, as he gives us his breakdown of the data driven voter trends in advance of the November 8th election. This is a joint event with the University of New Hampshire.
