    Unpacking Michigan's Election Day turnout

    Michigan set a record in the 2024 election. Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson announced that 79% of eligible voters in the state cast their ballots — the highest turnout in the state's history. However, turnout in Detroit decreased — and nationwide, nearly 13 million voters stayed home. The efforts to expand voter rolls are working, but why aren't they connecting in places like Detroit? Mario Marrow, political consultant and president of Mario Marrow and Associates, and Brady Baybeck, professor of political science at Wayne State University, join Created Equal to discuss what happened, and what it means for our democracy going forward.

    What now for the Democratic Party?

    Democrats were on the blunt end of a very strong message on Election Day, as Donald Trump flipped many parts of the country and some traditionally Democratic constituencies to win another term in the White House. What’s the lesson for the party going forward? Representative Debbie Dingell and political strategist Jamal Simmons join the show to discuss the future of the Democratic party in the wake of a Trump victory.

    How is education status affecting American politics?

    College-educated voters are moving dramatically into the ranks of the Democratic Party, attracted by the party’s views on subjects like diversity and inclusion. And less educated voters are flocking to the Republican Party, drawn by its skepticism of cultural change. The authors of "Polarized by Degrees: How the Diploma Divide and the Culture War Transformed American Politics," Matt Grossman and David Hopkins, join the show to talk about the ways that higher education status reflects — and influences — the American political landscape.
