The 2024 national election campaign is already in high gear. Presidential nominating caucuses and primaries are rapidly approaching, the rhetoric is heating up, and voters are starting to pay attention. It's time to take a closer look at national politics and America's mood as the political year is about to begin.

This election is a particularly important and unusual one. The nation is fragmented and troubled. Some historians say it's more divided than at any time since the Civil War. Polls show that public trust is eroding in major institutions, including the presidency, Congress, the Supreme Court, organized religion, law enforcement, education, and the media. Americans are deeply worried about the future. Most believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, although there is no consensus on why and what to do about it.

What kind of future will we choose? Ken Walsh, a journalist, historian and author who spent more than 30 years as a White House correspondent for U.S. News & World Report, discusses the possibilities in a fact-based, non-partisan presentation.

Walsh analyzes the major issues facing the country, what voters want done about them, how we became so divided, the historical parallels, the prospects for control of Congress and state governments, and the major candidates.
