Assistant Professor of Political Science and International Affairs Jared McDonald
Assistant Professor of Political Science and International Affairs Jared McDonald appeared in a segment titled “Do Voters Punish Lying Politicians?” for Democracy Nerds. “It’s not just the party label. There needs to be some sort of affective attachment,” McDonald said. “Trump is the leader of your party. This is a real politician, and so you’ve got skin in the game. If it’s some generic hypothetical Republican and you’re a Republican, you may not really feel that strong of an attachment.” Watch the segment.
