Donald Trump has been reelected president of the United States. Ahead of Kamala Harris's expected concession speech, we speak to professors Carol Anderson and Michele Goodwin to discuss Harris's historic campaign — and historic loss. "The Confederacy won," says Anderson, a professor of African American studies at Emory University. "It paints a picture of what Americans are willing to embrace," says Goodwin, a professor of constitutional law at Georgetown and an expert on healthcare law, who warns of the public health dangers of a second Trump administration and discusses the election's implications for reproductive rights.
