Lunch Lecture: Why did Trump win (at such scale)?

The Viadrina Institute for European Studies (IFES) invites you to the following event as part of the Lunch Lectures series:

Sascha Münnich (EUV) in conversation with Randall Halle (Pittsburgh).

The result of the presidential election in the USA was in some ways to be expected and yet it came as a shock to many people: How was Donald Trump able to prevail against Kamala Harris by such a clear margin? What factors explain this popular support and, above all, what failures or mistakes by the ruling Democratic Party and its campaign strategy could have contributed to this outcome?

Sascha Münnich and Randall Halle will discuss these questions with each other and with the audience from a social and cultural science perspective and analyse them on the basis of current surveys and their experiences on the ground: What can we learn from this election, including for the future of Europe?

The discussion will be held in English, questions can be asked in German.
