The presidential election is right around the corner and Michigan is going to play a crucial role in the election results.  For MSU Today's 2024 Election Spotlight Series, I'm talking with MSU researchers and experts who can discuss all things elections and politics. Each guest brings a unique perspective on research and work they are doing that relates to the 2024 election. To kickoff this series, I'm joined by Dante Chinni, director of the American Communities Project (ACP) at Michigan State University's School of Journalism. Chinni talks about the ACP and its mission, and he describes the ACP's 2023 survey that found a great deal of agreement on policy issues in the 15 community types they examined. It's the culture issues that tend to divide us. Conversation Highlights: (0:45) – What's your background? (1:12) – What attracted you back to MSU? (2:01) - What are your research interests? (2:50) - What are all the ways you're engaged with the election? (3:25) - Tell us what the American Communities Project is and does? (5:21) - You conducted surveys last year finding agreement among Americans on issues like abortion and the economy. How did you conduct the survey? Were you surprised by these findings? (11:17) - There is disagreement among Americans on cultural issues. Why are people divided on these issues in particular? How do we get past it? Are you hopeful? (12:55) - The ACP categories counties into 15 different categories to better understand how America can be so different. Describe some of them and when it comes to polarization, are we as divided as some think? Are there ways we can bridge this gap? (17:11) - It's cool you're engaging J-school students with ACP. Tell us how MSU student journalists are reporting on the election. (18:30) – What are your thoughts on the state and future of journalism? (21:09) - What other trends are you watching for as we approach the election? Listen to “MSU Today with Russ White” on the radio and through Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your shows.

A gunman just tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump weeks after he was convicted of election interference…  Joe Biden's campaign is in freefall… and all along voters have resented a choice between two troubled candidates. Americans — from the largest urban centers to the smallest rural towns — are deeply pessimistic about the state of the nation. And on both sides of the political aisle, there seems to be a disconnect between what people want… and where they feel the country is headed.  This week, in an election special, we'll hear from Iowa voter Phil Hemingway, and how he's feeling about this contentious election year. Then, Dante Chinni, director of MSU J-School's American Communities Project, Anne Applebaum, staff writer for The Atlantic, and Ian Bremmer, president of GZERO Media, join Ray Suarez to unpack why Americans have lost faith in democracy… and what it will take to get it back.  Guests:   Phil Hemingway, owner, manager and automotive technician at Phil's Repair, LLC Dante Chinni, data and political journalist and director of the MSU J-School's American Communities Project Anne Applebaum, staff writer for The Atlantic, Pulitzer-prize winning historian and author of “The Twilight of Democracy” Ian Bremmer, a political scientist, author of “The Power of Crisis,” and professor at Columbia University's School of International and Political Affairs Host:   Ray Suarez If you appreciate this episode and want to support the work we do, please consider making a donation to World Affairs.

A.M. Edition for June 17. Republicans have won the senior vote in every presidential election since 2000.

Plus, China's troubled property sector shows few signs of improvement despite Beijing's moves to prop it up. And, Wells Fargo's plan to let customers pay rent on their credit cards ends up costing the bank dearly. Luke Vargas hosts. Sign up for the WSJ's free What's News newsletter.

A brand new NBC News poll shows that two-thirds of voters are uncomfortable with President Biden and former President Trump running for the White House again — and while Biden has not yet officially announced a run for re-election, a primary seems to be rearing up in earnest on the Republican side, with reports of fmr.

Every ten years, states redraw their political lines and so far, about two-thirds of states have adopted their new congressional district maps.

The state of Missouri recently took away the pay of workers in St. Louis who had been getting a higher minimum wage. Labor economist Sylvia Allegretto says that in Seattle, the higher minimum wage has worked well, without throwing people out of work.

A federal appeals court has declined to block a lower-court ruling that suspended President Trump's immigration ban. The decision will allow previously barred travelers to enter the U.S.  President Trump weighed in on Twitter with his disapproval of the decision -- and it seems an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court could be in the works: SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 9, 2017 MPR News host Cathy Wurzer will be joined by Margaret M. Russell from Santa Clara Law and Stanford law professor Shirin Sinnar to analyse the ruling. Also in this episode we discuss the growing rural urban divide in America and how the makeup of our cities and counties affects our stance on issues, how we vote and what we want from our lawmakers. Why does a phenomenon that dates back centuries feels like it's only getting worse?  In an age of mass-media and social networking, why does the physical place we live still seem to determine so much about how we see the world?
