In 2024 the incumbents of developed countries have lost every single election. In the United States, the Democratic Party lost more votes from the previous election than it has since the 1980s, and the Republican Party won the popular vote for the first time since 2004. Pollsters meanwhile, are left embarrassed, and commentators speculate about the why and how.
Given the USA’s place in major climate agreements, trade relationships, military alliances, and cultural influence, the election has both captivated and concerned many around the world. How should Trump’s victory make us understand elections elsewhere, and vice versa? Is it better understood as a conservative triumph, a progressive defeat, or something else entirely?
Join us Tuesday December 3rd a Vox Discussion! Together we will make sense of the US election, and what it means for democracy. As ever, we’ll be at The Nook at 19:00, snacks and drinks are on us!
This event is organized by VOX Delft in collaboration with SG.
