Reporting from the (Virtual) Trail: A Campaign Check-in

Have you heard there’s an election? What about a pandemic and an economic crisis? With less than one month to go until Election Day – and early voting starting by October in many states – there’s no shortage of stories for voters to track. And that’s not even considering an October surprise.

So which segments of the electorate should we be watching as Americans cast their ballots? What issues will likely determine the election’s outcome? What are the polls indicating, and are those numbers even a reliable guidepost?

Join the IOP as we welcome a distinguished panel of political journalists, featuring:

• Astead W. Herndon – national political reporter, The New York Times
• Peter Hamby – host of Snapchat’s Good Luck America; contributing writer, Vanity Fair
• Alexi McCammond (AB’15) – political reporter, Axios
• Olivia Nuzzi – Washington correspondent, New York Magazine

This conversation will be moderated by IOP Director David Axelrod.

If you have any questions about accessibility, please contact Christine Hurley.

UChicago students, faculty, and staff will receive information on how to access the Zoom webinar 60 minutes before the program begins. All other attendees will be directed to our Facebook  livestream.
