Description
Larry Sabato, one of the leading experts in American politics, will bring together respected journalists and academics from across the political spectrum to examine every facet of the 2022 midterm 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 Sabato's introductory analysis, the contributors will provide a comprehensive review of everything in play during the 2022 midterms and look ahead to the 2024 presidential campaign.
Reviews / Votes
The Red Ripple, edited by Sabato .... With contributions by several authors, this volume offers a good analysis of the 2022 elections. It discusses, among other things, why the predicted "red wave" of widespread Republican victories did not occur; the role of Donald Trump, particularly in the primaries; candidate quality among Republicans running for the Senate; the consequences of redistricting for the House, particularly in New York and Florida; and the impact of overturning Roe v. Wade on the campaigns and results.... good for upper-division and graduate courses. Recommended.... Advanced undergraduates and graduate students * Choice Reviews *More details
