North Central College political scientists interviewed across Chicago media networks

Dr. Stephen Maynard Caliendo, Dr. William Muck and Dr. Suzanne Chod weigh in on President Joe Biden’s Inauguration

Joe Biden was sworn in as the nation’s 46th president Wednesday, January 20, and Kamala Harris made history as the first Black, female and South Asian American to become vice president. Set against a backdrop of a locked-down Washington and a socially distanced ceremony, Biden made a plea for national unity in his inaugural address as political, economic and health care crises grip the nation.

North Central College political scientists were sought after to weigh in and provide analysis on the historical day’s events. From dissecting the inaugural ceremony to what can be expected from President Biden’s first 100 days in office, our experts were at the helm of media networks across Chicagoland.
