Will Super Tuesday guarantee a repeat of the 2020 contest between Joe Biden and Donald Trump?

The day after this important primary contest, this panel discussion with academics and journalists will reflect on the US presidential primary results and give their predictions for the general election.

She specialises in the study of public policymaking and litigation in the United States with a particular focus on religion, race, and education. Ursula is the author of America's Voucher Politics: How Elites Learned to Hide the State, which won the Richard E.

Mark Landler (@MarkLandler) is the London bureau chief of The New York Times.

Stephanie J Rickard (@SJRickard) is Professor at the London School of Economics and Political Science in the Department of Government. She earned her PhD at the University of California, San Diego and her BA at the University of Rochester. Her research examines issues at the intersection of politics and international economics, including trade agreements, subsidies, industrial policy and international financial rescues. In her award-winning book, Spending to Win, Stephanie investigates why governments selectively target economic benefits, like subsidies, to businesses. Based on interviews with government ministers and bureaucrats, as well as parliamentary records, industry publications, local media coverage, and new quantitative data, Stephanie demonstrates how economic policy is shaped by political institutions and economic geography. Stephanie serves as Chair of the Editorial Board for the journal International Organization. In addition to academic research, Stephanie has been engaged in policy debates, for example, testifying in the UK Parliament. She also comments on events in the global economy, including, for example, on BBC Radio 4's Today programme.

Peter Trubowitz (@ptrubowitz) is Professor of International Relations and Director of the Phelan US Centre at the London School of Economics and Political Science and Associate Fellow at Chatham House.
