Inside Political Science #031 – New Era of U.S. Politics

The United States of America is entering a new political climate since President Trump took office nine months ago – what are the people saying? Is there a shift in the crime rate? Do people agree with the immigration policies being enforced? What is going on with the economy? With so much change, it can be hard to keep up. Kirby and Todd say President Trump seems to be realigning the political system of the United States. Given the Republican Party's typical ideological alignment with business, they wonder whether increased government involvement could lead American businesses to lose their freedom. What does the Republican Party ultimately want for the country and the American people? Will the Democratic Party be able to bounce back? Kirby and Todd discuss these questions and more in the latest episode of Inside Political Science. For more on this show and to listen to past episodes, visit tx.ag/insidepoliticalscience.
