When Unprecedented Becomes the Precedent: The 2024 US Presidential Election

In the past 12 months, the New York Times has published more than 200 articles about “unprecedented” events in the United States, but the word begins to lose its luster when it seems a once-in-a-generation event happens every few weeks. We have seen the removal of the House speaker, the criminal conviction-and then attempted assassination-of a former president and current presidential hopeful, a first-term president opting not to run for reelection, the first BIPOC woman presumptive nominee of a major party, and the list goes on. And the election is still more than three months away. How could this tumultuous presidential cycle transform American politics and policy making for years to come? Join the University of Chicago for a roundtable discussion on how this moment in history compares and what it means for our future.
