Description
UCLA political scientists Lynn Vavreck and Chris Tausanovitch and
Vanderbilt’s John Sides argue that political party identity has become
increasingly “calcified” in surprising new ways. Their latest book,“The

All of this background helped put Nadler at the center of a swirl of events this week as pro-Palestinian protesters at Columbia were ejected from Hamilton Hall, as President Biden made his first public remarks about campus protests, as a ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel seemed tantalizingly close and as the House passed, by an overwhelming majority of 320 to 91, the Antisemitism Awareness Act — a bill against which Nadler led the oppositio by Playbook Deep Dive
