John Hazen White Professor of Public Policy, Professor of Political Science and Urban Studies James Morone provides commentary on the pushback Biden will receive from progressives, “Will he get pushback from Progressives? Not much. That's because Biden has stuck to his guns on a $1.9 trillion bailout despite calls for pairing it down from the likes of Larry Summers. In addition, he’s sticking to the rise in the minimum wage. Progressives are not going to split with him or rock the boat too hard.”

John Hazen White Professor of Public Policy James Morone, “Republicans are playing with fire...They’re counting on our political institutions—the courts, the state governments, the electors— to protect our republic while they pander to President Trump and his supporters. But our democratic institutions are built on a political culture. One that accepts political opposition as legitimate and elections as the final word. Denying a clear election result—for a day much less for a month—weakens the bonds that hold our republic together. This is how democracies break down—slowly, then all at once.”

John Hazen White Professor of Public Policy and Professor of Political Science and Urban Studies, James Morone, provides commentary on President Trump's questioning of the credibility of the electoral system, "This is his final card. Donald Trump is a gambler, and causing this confusion is the last asset he has.”
