The 2024 election felt like more than just a victory for President Trump. It felt like a victory for a traditional view of gender roles. Trump certainly shares that view. During the campaign, he declared that women liked him because he was their ‘protector.’ He called the satellite radio host Howard Stern a ‘BETA MALE’ after Stern criticised him.

With the year almost over, we’re pleased to present our top 10 posts of 2024!#10. Danielle Lupton’s playlist of presidential campaign songs was a fascinating compilation of campaign songs and other music that presidential candidates have used. Al Gore and Bachman-Turner Overdrive, anyone? #9. “Why replacing Biden with Harris may not mobilize Black voters,” by Samantha Canty and Michael Tesler.

After every national election, including the most recent presidential election, it’s tempting to explain it with stories about local places. Many of the 2024 stories presume that there was something unusual or unique about that specific place that led Trump to make gains. Trump’s gains in large urban areas have drawn a lot of attention, especially because those cities are reliably Democratic.

Right now, post-election surveys suggest that Donald Trump did better among Latino voters and, to a lesser extent, Black voters, compared to 2020. The longer-term changes from 2016 to 2024 are sometimes characterized as a “racial realignment” that is creating a “multiethnic” Republican party. How true is that characterization?

The 2016 U.S. Election: The Populist MomentRising populism in the U.S. and beyond is calling into question the liberal-democratic bargain that has defined the postwar era.

There’s a saying: “If you aren’t scared, you’re not paying attention.” For a long time, that mood has undergirded a lot of popular discussion about democracy and democratic backsliding. And when there’s a prevailing mood, people sometimes evaluate commentary and even scholarship not on whether its argument is correct, but on how well it affiliates with the prevailing mood.

The 2024 Republican National Convention is now just days away – meaning Donald Trump will soon officially become the party’s presidential nominee in the 2024 race. The twice-impeached convicted felon breezed through the GOP primary races, beating out competitors and amassing far greater than the required number of delegates he needed to secure the nomination.
