Government 101

This podcast episode comes from an expert panel with a live audience entitled “Midterm Election 2026: An Election in a Polarized Republic,” on November 10 2026 at the Centennial Student Union on the Minnesota State University campus. The panel includes Dr. Fred Slocum (M.S.U.), Prof. Joe Olstrom (S.C.C.), Dr. Josh Berkenpas (M.S.U.), Dr. Kevin Parsneau (M.S.U.) and Dr. Scott Granberg-Rademacker (M.S.U.) moderating the discussion. It was interesting and informative, with each panelist emphasized different aspects of what has come to be described as a “Blue Wave” of Democratic wins. There were great questions from the audience, and not enough time to get to everything people wanted to talk about.
