Debate in Lund: America votes – will Gen Z swing the election?
Welcome to a debate on media influence, polarization and the spectacle of American politics. In November, US voters will decide whether the next president will be Donald Trump or Kamala Harris.
Young voters are expected to have a decisive impact in certain swing states. But on what basis will they cast their votes? How will age, gender and ethnicity influence the outcome?
How important are memes and influencers, and how can voters see past the theatrics and grasp the real stakes of this election?
