Religion, Politics, and the 2024 U.S. Elections:

What Happened and What Comes Next?

WHAT:

Newswise — The Illiberalism Studies Program and the School of Media and Public Affairs at the George Washington University and the Center on Faith and Justice at the Georgetown University are hosting a plenary panel on Wednesday, November 20, 2024.

Their goal is to explore three core questions: 1. What do we know about the conservative Christian vote in the 2024 election? 2. What do we see emerging from the Christian nationalist networks that were involved in the 2020 election denialism and even in the January 6 Insurrection? 3. How do various strands of Christian nationalism relate and perhaps overlap?

  • Michel Martin, Moderator, Host Morning Edition NPR
  • Robert P. Jones, President and founder of the Public Religion Research Institute
