On Friday, January 20th 2017, the United States of America will observe the “peaceful transfer of power” that for 220 years has marked the transition between one US President to the next. Just after noon on that day, Donald Trump will become the 45th President of the United States, as the 2nd term of President Barack Obama comes to an end.

On this episode of ‘Behind the Blue’ we’re joined once again by associate professors Dr. Emily Beaulieu, who specializes in comparative politics, and Dr. Stephen Voss, who specializes in voting behavior and political methodology.

As our country heads into the next four years of a new administration, we take a look back at the Presidential election of 2016, where the predictions were right, where they were wrong, and where we go from here, on a state, national, and global level.
