Professor of Political Science Rosalyn Cooperman
Professor of Political Science Rosalyn Cooperman was featured by DW News, a German public broadcast service, in a segment titled “How severely has the shutdown affected the American people and the broader economy?” In the segment, Cooperman responds to a question about the shutdown, saying “I’m here in Virginia and we have two Democratic senators. One who is up for reelection in 2026 who is still voting no. He was not among that group that crossed over to try to find a deal, a way back to end the government shutdown. The other senator was elected in 2024 and so is not facing voters until 2030.” Throughout the piece she continues to add her expertise in response to questions from an interviewer. Watch on Youtube.
