Newsweek: Republicans' worst-case scenario for the midterms

The Republican party is expecting big gains in the House and Senate come November, but those gains could be thwarted by recent events such as the overturning of Roe v Wade and Trump’s continued presence in the national spotlight, according to experts cited in Newsweek.

Among those experts is David Niven, a professor in UC’s School of Public and International Affairs. "The worst-case scenario for Republicans would be for Democrats to successfully convey the truly extreme nature of the Republican agenda on abortion rights and gun safety," said David Niven.

Niven’s research focus is on political campaigns, gerrymandering, political communication and death penalty policy.

UC’s School of Public and International Affairs was created out of the former Department of Political Science, which dates to 1914. Experts from the school are regularly cited in national and international media outlets.

The school is widely known for having academic experts in all aspects of the political realm and Niven is a trusted media source often cited for having his finger on the pulse of American politics.
