2020 Election Analysis

Several days after the November 3rd elections, the AP and other major news outlets called the presidential race for Joe Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris. President Donald Trump has so far refused to concede. He and some of his supporters are making baseless accusations of widespread election fraud, and his campaign has filed numerous lawsuits in several states challenging the voting process. Control of the US Senate remains in question pending the results of a runoff election in Georgia in early January. Should both Democratic candidates prevail in that election, the Senate would be split 50-50 between the two parties, and Vice President-Elect Harris would cast the deciding vote. University of Minnesota Associate Professor of Political Science Kathryn Pearson joins us to discuss the election results both nationally and here in Minnesota.
