The Shifting Power of Political Parties
An interview with Prof. Richard Pildes
Every US president since 1869 has represented either the Republican or Democratic Party, but in an era of internet funding and increased populism, what powers do the parties retain? How does the legal framework influence the Republican and Democratic parties in selecting their candidates, or conversely, the ability of candidates to buck their party? Professor Richard Pildes of NYU Law School discusses with host Suraj Patel the shifting powers of political parties and the legal changes that have dramatically affected how presidents are elected.
