In this episode of 1050 Bascom, we are joined by Jessie Munson, a Ph.D. student in the Department of Political Science, to discuss the U.S. Congress. We asked Jessie about the power struggles that have made headline news around the world over the last several months as well as some of the key issues that Congress faces as the 2024 presidential primary season gets underway. Jessie studies American politics, political institutions, and elections. We learned so much from Jessie and had a lot of fun talking to her.
