U.S. Trade Policy
Brookings experts on the Supreme Court’s tariff decision
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—a trend further explored by Rashawn Ray and Gabriel Sanchez in new commentary.
On October 11, the Race, Prosperity, and Inclusion Initiative at Brookings held a webinar where panelists discussed the implications of these racial tropes for the 2024 elections and the state of American democracy more broadly.
Viewers submitted questions for speakers by emailing [email protected] or via X (formerly Twitter) at @BrookingsGov by using #RaceinElection24.
In new commentary, Rashawn Ray and Gabriel Sanchez explore the ways in which race has been a key factor in the 2024 presidential election.
