The Wheelhouse

Is American democracy in crisis?


Listen Later

Eighty-three percent of American voters are either very worried or at least somewhat worried about the functioning of our democracy.

So what does this recent Quinnipiac poll tell us? Why are people losing faith in our democracy?

This hour, we’re asking some big questions about the future of democracy in the U.S., covering everything from political violence to voter suppression. Plus, we’ll give you a preview of some of the big races to watch on Primary Day next Tuesday.

GUESTS:

  • Dr. Bilal Sekou: Hillyer College Associate Professor of Politics and Government, University of Hartford
  • Archon Fung: Director of the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation at Harvard Kennedy School
  • Anne Meng: Associate Professor in the Department of Politics, University of Virginia
  • Mark Pazniokas: Capitol Bureau Chief, CT Mirror
