US Elections - Post Mortem

The suspense is over, and Joe Biden is President-Elect of the United States. In this episode of .think Atlantic, IRI’s Thibault Muzergues and his guests Kristen Soltis Anderson and Brian Berry try to make sense of the election results and discuss what the future of America and its party system is going to look like.

What were the groups that shifted the elections? What kind of presidency can we expect of President-Elect Joe Biden? Is the Republican party going to transform itself into a working-class party? What is the future of the Democratic party?

Kristen Soltis Anderson is a pollster, speaker, and commentator. She is also the co-founder of polling and public opinion firm Echelon insight, and the author of “The Selfie Vote” about Millenials and their political preferences.

Brian Berry is a Chief Strategy Officer and Chief Global Officer at The Strategy Group Company. Brian has years of experience in US elections and served as campaign manager in many successful races for Governor and U.S. Senator. He was executive director of a state political party, served as Southwestern Regional Director for the Republican National Committee, and held the post of Regional Political Director on two Presidential campaigns.
