What this episode covers
When we talk about polarization on this podcast it’s almost always in the context of congress or the presidency. But are state legislatures polarizing as well? And, if they are, what can that tell us about the state of our democracy? In a new paper, Princeton political scientist Nolan McCarty shows that not only are state legislatures polarizing, but they’re polarizing faster and more intensely than congress.
