Newswise — With a clearer picture of the results of the June 7, 2016 primaries and caucuses in California and other states, things are place for the general election, even if Sen. Bernie Sanders continues his campaign to the Democratic National Convention this summer, a political scientist said.
Daniel P. Franklin, associate professor of political science at Georgia State University, is available to discuss the presidential race and where the candidates stand. His contact information is above in the contact box for logged-in registrants of the Newswise system.
"Hillary Clinton has wrapped up the nomination,” he said. “Will Bernie Sanders get the message?"
Franklin’s research explores executive powers and the relationships between the presidency and Congress. His research also examines popular movies and television shows as indicators of political and social culture of the United States.
An updated edition of Franklin’s “Politics and Film: The Political Culture of Television and Movies” (Rowan & Littlefield) will be released later this summer, to include examinations of what films and television shows like American Sniper, House of Cards, Orange is the New Black, and Twelve Years a Slave tell us about popular conceptions of government, the military, intelligence and terrorism, punishment and policing, and recognized mistakes in our shared history.
Franklin is also the author of “Pitiful Giants: Presidents in their Final Term” (Palgrave MacMillian, 2014). It explores the approaches U.S. presidents elected to a second term after World War II have taken to executive actions, including Eisenhower, Reagan, Clinton, George W. Bush and Obama, during their final years in power.
