2024 Will Test Our Elections System, Will Our Country Pass?

Johanna Maska

Jun 13, 2023

Johanna Maska talks to NewsNation political editor Chris Stirewalt about polarization and how the media covers our elections. On election night in 2020, as the political director for Fox News, Stirewalt was part of the decision desk team that called Arizona for then Vice President Joe Biden. Fox anchors questioned the accuracy of the call while President Trump took to the podium to falsely claim victory. This led to the events of the January 6 attack on our Capitol, and divided our country even further. Johanna and Chris explore how the 2024 election could test our political systems again and the lessons learned from our political history.
