We keep hearing calls for unity from newly-inaugurated President Joe Biden. But how realistic are these calls and what can President Biden do to find this unity? Importantly, do enough people even want unity in politics?
This week, we talk with three of the top political minds in North Carolina who study these issues. One of them even says we need to reevaluate what it means to be an American after the past five years.
Our guests include Catawba College political scientist Dr. Michael Bitzer, Davidson College political scientist Dr. Susan Roberts, and Western Carolina University political scientist Dr. Chris Cooper.
