Description

Larry Sabato, one of the leading experts in American politics, brings together respected journalists and academics from across the political spectrum to examine every facet of the 2024 election, and what its development and outcome will mean for the nation moving forward. In frank, accessible prose, each author offers insight that goes beyond the headlines, and dives into the underlying forces and shifts that drove the election from its earliest developments to its dramatic conclusion.

Following Sabatos introductory analysis, the contributors provide a comprehensive review of everything in play during the 2024 elections, exploring the nominating processes, the unexpected handoff to Kamala Harris, conventions, and futures of both the Democratic and Republican parties, and what recent geographic and demographic electoral realignments might mean for Americas politics beyond 2024.

Reviews

Campaign of Chaos is an essential look at elections in the United States beyond the 2024 headlines, providing more broad-based understanding of the key changes within the electorate and how campaigns operated at all levels of government. An outstanding contribution to both the academic and professional literature. -- Michael D. Cohen, Ph.D., author of Modern Political Campaigns: How Professionalism, Technology, and Speed Have Revolutionized Elections; founder and publisher of Congress in Your Pocket
Larry Sabato is one of the most astute analysts of American politics on the landscape today, and his anthologies on US. elections have been a staple in my classes for many years. I have no doubt that this book will take its place alongside his previous work as essential reading for my students and for all of us. -- Dan Schnur, columnist; host of the Dan Schnur Political Report for the Los Angeles World Affairs Council; and Lecturer at UC-Berkeley, University of Southern California, and Pepperdine University, USA
