Author David Paul Kuhn, whose book The New York Times recognized as one of the "100 Notable Books of 2020,” and former Virginia Senator Jim Webb to discuss the drift of the white working-class voter to the Republican party and the enormous impact on U.S. politics. Together, they’ll help explain what drove the white working-class away from the Democratic party and towards Republicans and how that schism continues to drive class conflict and political polarization today. In light of the most recent election, this will surely be a timely and essential conversation. The conversation will be moderated by the brilliant journalist Clyde Haberman.
Election expert and past TCG speaker, Charlie Cooke, described David’s new book, “The Hardhat Riot: Nixon, New York City, and the Dawn of the White Working-Class Revolution“ as well-written, painstakingly researched,...an important book that gives life to history and explains the divorce between working-class whites and the Democratic Party”.
