FROM THE INTRODUCTION

This book is one of a series published by the Academy of Political Science on timely subjects of special importance in the fields of public and international affairs. Americans preparing to vote in the 2024 presidential election are at this writing grappling with several salient, contentious issues. We can debate the extent to which, in the end, the political conflict in the 2024 presidential election was greater than that of the 2016 and 2020 elections, with Donald Trump running for a third time. This volume brings together articles published in Political Science Quarterly that shed light on the political conflict present in American politics in recent years.
