How should we be analyzing the crazy 2024 elections? Coming off of the Iowa Caucuses and with almost a week before the New Hampshire Primary, the United States is in full swing for one of the zaniest election cycles in memory.

With histrionics coming from both sides, it’s hard to separate the signal from the noise. The stakes for the 2024 election cycle couldn’t be higher, but the confusion and distrust around the process is at its all-time highs.

Enter David Wasserman.

David is Senior Editor & Elections Analyst for The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter.

Recognized as one of the nation’s top election forecasters, David leads the development of key data visualizations and new product development.

He manages CPR’s coverage of the US House of Representatives and redistricting developments.

Founded in 1984, The Cook Political Report provides analyses of Presidential, U.S. Senate, House and gubernatorial races. The New York Times has called the Report “a newsletter both parties regard as authoritative.”

What are the things we should look for during primary season?

With that in mind, what are the battle ground states and counties?

How much does Gerrymandering fit into the outcome this cycle (NY case- especially with Congress)?
