Race in the 2024 election

When former President Trump questioned Vice President Harris’ racial identity, the issue of race jumped to the forefront of national politics. Americans have also seen immigrants racialized and blamed for anything from increased violence to unemployment for political gain. In an election cycle where the top priorities for voters are inflation and better paying jobs, race and racial politics will have a significant effect on the 2024 elections.  

On October 11, join the Race, Prosperity, and Inclusion Initiative at Brookings for a webinar where panelists will discuss the implications of these racial tropes for the 2024 elections and the state of American democracy more broadly.
