Divided We Stand

Continuing a R&L tradition now in its fourth decade, this book is the most comprehensive and authoritative account of the national 2020 election, including the presidential nomination process and general election, and congressional and state elections. Andrew E. Busch and John J. Pitney Jr. revisit the campaigns and results with the short lens of politics today and the long lens of American political history.

Andrew E. Busch is a professor in the Howard H. Baker, Jr. School of Public Policy and Public Affairs and associate director of the Institute of American Civics at the University of Tennessee.
