Politics in Question

How Did the Heartland Go Red?


Listen Later

In this week’s episode of Politics In Question, Julia and Lee talk with Stephanie Ternullo about the political shift among white working-class Americans. Ternullo is an Assistant Professor of Government at Harvard University and author of How the Heartland Went Red: Why Local Forces Matter in an Age of Nationalized Politics (Princeton University Press, 2024).

How do people grow partisan attachments within their social groups? What are the crucial elements of class? How do national party politics translate to local party organizing? These are some of the questions Julia and Lee explore in this week’s episode.
