This book adopts a regional approach to understanding 2024 presidential election outcomes. Quantitative and qualitative analysis examines electoral outcomes in the Midwest, Southwest, Southeast, and Northeast, enriching contextual understandings of the national results and illuminating nuances in public opinion, voter behavior, and party politics. From this foundation, the book aspires to be the most comprehensive assessment of prominent issues in the 2024 campaign. Scholars examine seven key issues to understand how these issues affected the 2024 campaign and how the campaign affected public opinion and policymaking toward these issues.
