After months of promises and debate, the 2024 presidential election likely came down to how people felt about the economy. 

On this week’s podcast, host Tim Boyum talks with two economists, N.C. State economist emeritus Dr. Michael Walden and UNC Charlotte economist Dr. John Connaughton, about the promises made, and what a Trump presidency might mean for the economy in terms of tariffs, product prices, interest rates, immigration and more.
