What is a Primary and a Caucus?

America may be gearing up for Trump versus Biden already, but it remains in the middle of a nomination campaign... if only as a formality. So in this episode we speak with Dr. Emma Long to understand exactly how the nominations work, and what the heck a primary and caucus even is.

Guest this week:

Dr. Emma Long, Associate Professor of American History and Politics and Head of the Department of American Studies at the University of East Anglia
