Following the results of the 2024 Election, many questions were answered, some not, and many more surfaced. To make sense of the outcomes, local and national media asked several faculty members from the WashU Political Science department for their takes on different aspects of the race, the outcomes, and what Missourians, Illinoisians and Americans can expect from the changes. Below are links to the articles and interviews featuring department faculty:
