This book analyzes both local and national House and Senate
campaigns in the 2016 election to reveal how distinctive campaign
dynamics have a collective national impact. Featuring detailed case
studies of ten competitive House races and twelve high-profile U.S.
Senate campaigns, the volume provides a deep analysis of campaign
dynamics and the polarizing effects of the presidential campaigns
of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. These studies are
contextualized by four thematic chapters that cover the most
salient talking points of the 2016 elections, including voter
registration laws and congressional candidates' use of Twitter. As
penetrating as it is comprehensive, this volume provides readers
with a fuller understanding of the divided landscape of
contemporary American political campaigns.
