UCI 2024 Election Panel: What Happened and Why

UCI Social Ecology

UCI’s School of Social Ecology organized a post-2024 election panel on the “Lessons from the 2024 Election in Orange County and Beyond.”

Three panels, assembled on December 6, included many of the best reporters with the Los Angeles Times and other media outlets. Some of the panelists were:

  • Mark Barabak, Columnist, LA Times
  • Melanie Mason, Reporter, Politico California
  • Jenny Medina, Reporter, NY Times
  • Seema Mehta, Reporter, LA Times
  • Laura Nelson, Reporter, LA Times
  • Laurel Rosenhall, News Manager, LA Times

The conversation ranged widely and offered the belief that has only grown since, that the relatively close November election will have a major effect on the two parties and American politics for the foreseeable future– we have entered a new era of power.
