The results of the 2024 presidential election have started to trickle in, following a historic and deeply contested race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
With a backdrop of such heightened political polarization, the outcome of this election will shape the next phase of American governance – and naturally, there are questions about what comes next.
If Harris wins, she faces the complex challenge of attempting to unite the country and addressing public concerns on the economy, abortion rights and immigration. A Trump victory, on the other hand, raises questions about his agenda for a second term and whether he will continue with the divisive rhetoric that marked his campaign.
They also face the likelihood of a split Congress, which would make it much harder to pass their agendas.
What could this election mean for America’s future? How would Harris or Trump approach their policy goals within a divided political landscape? And what are the social and political implications of the continued influence of both leaders?
In this question-and-answer session, we’ll explore the election’s key takeaways, examine the potential impact on policy and governance under either candidate and discuss what these results might signal for the future of American politics.
If you have a question about the election results and what they mean for the years ahead, submit it now or join me live for our “Ask Me Anything” event between November 6 and 8 – I’ll be checking in periodically to answer questions as the outcome of the election becomes clearer.
