How to Think about Voting in 2024

Howe Whitman III , Daniel Wiser, Jr. & Bryan T. McGraw

February 18, 2024

Voting should be straightforward: Figure out which candidate or party best fits one's political views or interests, and vote accordingly. But the last few elections have shown many Americans that it's not nearly that simple. We could benefit from a new framework for thinking about voting, and not just for elections in which we find ourselves especially bewildered.

Guest Bryan McGraw joins us to discuss a new philosophy of voting and how to apply it in this year's elections.

Bryan McGraw is an associate professor of politics and dean of social sciences at Wheaton College. His main areas of research are in contemporary political thought and especially how those traditions intersect with religious belief and practice.

This podcast discusses themes from Bryan and Timothy Taylor's essay in the Winter 2024 issue of National Affairs, "How to Think about Voting."
