AmericaJR’s Jason Rzucidlo was LIVE at the University of Michigan for a panel discussion called “Implications of Election 2016: How We Got Here & Where We’re Headed.” Donald Trump won the election in the electoral college, however Hillary Clinton received two million more popular votes than he did. So it’s fitting that the University of Michigan would examine those results. The panel discussion featured remarks from Yanna Krupnikov of Stony Brook University, along with Mara Ostfeld, James Morrow and Andrew Martin from the University of Michigan. They discussed how pollsters got it wrong and what Trump might do when he gets into office next January. In addition, they also talked about future of the Supreme Court.
