The Present and Future of US Politics: What next for the Democratic Party?
As the United States heads into a high-stakes presidential election, this seminar series explores the structural problems and political challenges behind the headlines. We examine why American politics is so polarised and ask: what is at stake in the 2024 elections?

The seminars will open with a short presentation by an expert, followed by questions and discussion. Everyone with an interest in US politics is welcome. Lunch will be available.

Week 8: What next for the Democratic Party?
Whether they have won or lost in 2024, the Democrats face challenges managing a disparate coalition with competing interests. What will the future hold?
