A few things stand out as we approach the end of 2024 and reflect on the political landscape of the year. A new mayor took office here in the Houston region and changed leadership and policy. Days of the municipal, primary, runoff, and general elections took place throughout the year, and everything passed without a hitch in Harris County, which was widely observed.
As Donald Trump’s year began in courtrooms, involved an assassination attempt, and ended with him ready to retake the president, Republicans also regained control of both houses of Congress and the White House.
We talk about the latest events in local, state, and federal politics every Wednesday. Nancy Sims, a political analyst and lecturer at UH, and Mark Jones, a political science fellow at Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy, join us today as we consider a significant 2024 in politics.
