Davidson College Prof. Susan Roberts with her assessment of the elections and voter attitudes

NC Newsline

Across the United States, elected leaders, analysts, pundits, and millions of average Americans are reflecting on and trying to make sense of Donald Trump’s victory in the recent presidential election. This is especially the case in North Carolina, where despite Trump’s win in the state presidential contest, Democrats fared well in statewide and legislative elections.

One North Carolina expert who has some interesting and in some respects, outside-the-box takes on this situation (and North Carolina’s status as a so-called purple state) is Davidson College professor of political science Susan Roberts. And this past week, NC Newsline caught up with Professor Roberts at her Davidson office.
