A Letter from the Political Chair

As the Political Chair for the 28th Mock Convention, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Mock Convention 2024’s Political Hub!

The digital world of today has undoubtedly changed politics. From the internet, to cable news, to social media becoming a news source, even including former president’s platform, how people digest information has observed a radical amount of change. To put it simply, there is an abundance of information at your fingertips with an endless amount of noise to cut through. The Political Hub was created to help you do just that.

Mock Convention is routinely lauded as a leading predictive force and the nation’s oldest and most accurate mock convention. There’s a reason that we haven’t inaccurately predicted a Republican primary in over 74 years, and we want to share that expertise with you through transparent, informed, and non-partisan analysis directly from the Political Department.

We know all too well that one cannot fully understand the 2024 race by just looking at the polls and diving into the data to identify emerging trends. For the 2024 cycle, our approach builds on that data-driven standard and incorporates a new, immersive mission that puts us in the middle of the election–regularly talking with each campaign at all levels, national groups, and those with boots on the ground. We’re dedicated to taking in all of that information and then telling you what we think it means.

Our goal is to make something you can rely on to help you stay informed. You don’t have to read every poll and every news story to get the most accurate information. We’ve got you covered.

Tune in!

Best,
Foster Harris
Political Chair
