Harris v Trump: the US Presidential Election Dissected

On November 5, our American neighbours will cast their ballot in what many see as the most consequential Presidential Election in generations. In this Lunch & Learn, join Augustana professors Clark Banack, Sandra Rein and Ian Wilson, along with some Augustana students, as we discuss the levels of political polarization on display in the United States, the role of religion in the campaign, the foreign policy implications, and what to watch for on election night as the candidates vie for 270 Electoral College votes.
