On Tuesday night, Belmont students gathered in the Massey Business Center to hear two Belmont political science professors offer their opinions on how the election unfolded. Dr. Vaughn May and Dr. Nathan Griffith discussed topics ranging from the consequences of the candidates' vice presidential picks to the role that the media played in the election, and students were quick to offer up their own opinions and questions.
The event was well-attended, with some students even sitting on the floor to fit in the room.
"It was really interesting to hear what the political scientists had to say about how the campaigns were run, the vice presidential picks and what different choices each candidate could have made to make the election turn out differently," said senior Brenna Mader. "They also compared this election to past elections, which was slightly eerie because of how similar certain things were."
The post-election discussion was Belmont's last election-related event of the semester.
