Character assassination. Negative campaigning. Call it what you will. But hard-edged tactics have been central to American politics since even before the Constitution’s adoption in 1789.
Washington Examiner and the Character Assassination and Reputation Politics (CARP) Research Lab have teamed up for a new webinar series on how the 2020 presidential campaign, pitting President Trump against Democratic nominee Joe Biden, fits into historical perspective. The webinar series will include three episodes.
David Mark, Washington Examiner Senior Politics Editor and Author of Going Dirty : The Art of Negative Campaigning, will host one-on-one conversations with:
- Hugo Gurdon, Washington Examiner, Editor-in-Chief, Former Editor-in-Chief of The Hill.
- Eric Shiraev, political psychologist, and author at George Mason University, CARP cofounder.
- Jennifer Keohane, Assistant Professor of Communication, University of Baltimore, CARP co-founder.
