Join Steve Clemons, Washington editor at large for The Atlantic, as he moderates a lively discussion featuring Thad Kousser, chair and professor of political science at UC San Diego; Scott Lewis, editor of the Voice of San Diego; and Laura Fink, a professional political consultant, as they examine how this year’s presidential election is fundamentally reshaping the political process at every level of government—national, state, and local—both now and into the future.
