Defying the Odds: The 2016 Elections and American Politics

Defying the Odds: The 2016 Elections and American Politics

Bitterness and joy, outrage and satisfaction, shame and pride, escapes to safe places and displays of celebrationâ€”these were just a few of the conflicting reactions that greeted the election of Donald Trump. One point lays beyond dispute: Donald Trump defied the odds, whether set by bookmakers or political pundits, or pollsters.

In this bookâ€”as they have for every presidential election since 1992â€”James Ceaser, Andrew Busch, and John Pitney Jr. revisit the race for the presidency and congressional and state elections through the short lens of politics today and the long lens of American political history. At the core of the 2016 election, they seek to understand and explain the different reasons for Donald Trumpâ€™s success at each stage of the campaign. With its keen insights into the issues and events that drove the 2016 election, Defying the Odds will be an invaluable resource for students and all political observers seeking to understand an election that was decades in the making and will continue to resonate throughout American politics for many years to come.
