The 2024 US elections will have huge ramifications not just for the United States itself but for its allies like the UK, as well as antagonists around the world. With most signs pointing to a rematch between former President Donald Trump and incumbent President Joe Biden, what is likely to happen when Americans go to the polls in November?
Please join us for this 3rd Annual UCL Centre on US Politics Annual Lecture, featuring Andrew Rudalevidge, CUSP inaugural honorary professor.
The lecture will lay out the structure of US national elections, explaining what we know (and don’t) about the upcoming campaign. It will also evaluate the “state of the union” when it comes to presidential power and how America’s next leader is likely to use the powers of the White House.
