What drives American politics? Is it the citizens? Money? Lobbyists? The president? Congress? Join other community members at the Harvard Ed Portal for Learning Xchange: Driving Forces in American Government, focused on a HarvardX online course taught by Tom Patterson, Bradlee Professor of Government & the Press at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. Professor Patterson will lead the group in examining a case study on public opinion about gun control, discuss the Trump administration, and explore other aspects of the U.S. system including separation of powers, presidential power, media coverage, and voting behavior.
